Dear Folks,

I have a MacBookPro with 10.4. I have downloaded StuffIt standard - with Expander - and when I try to drop bin and hqx on it (have tried Windows Media Player), I get a window that says "preparing" which just goes on forever. No sign of action, no error messages, no forced quit, just nothing. Have tried redownloading StuffIt files _and_ two versions of WMP (both bin and hqx format) in case of corruption or suchlike but same again.

I've never had such a problem before. Freezes and error messages I can do something with but an "infinite prepare" has me stumped. Oh yes, and I also had a scout through the menus and prefs to see if anything obvious needed changing but couldn't find anything that sounded relevant ...

Any ideas?
