I have searched the faqs without success for the answer to this dilemma. If it is there, please direct me to it. I would like to download IE 5 and Outlook Exress to a Macintosh Power PC with OS 8.1 and 96 MB Ram and ample HD space. When I start the download using AOL(my only isp) as access to the net, I can find the MS download site just fine. I see at least two options for download, the .bin filetype and the .hqx filetype. When I select either to download it comes into my Mac as a .smi filetype. Then when I try to open it I get an error message -39. If I try to drag and drop it onto my StuffIt expander I get an error message: The Shrinkwrap engine has found an error. I have found that the .smi filetype is a "self mounting image". How can I get my Mac to open this file? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jack
