It's some .rar files
Fucking strange I tell you. Some unpack, some don't...
Apparently other people have had problems with this, but I can't find a solid answer online.
If I end up deleting it, I hope I can find a free dl of it. I suppose I could dig out my system disc, but that sounds like a shit option too...
Fuck, I hate computers.

Go download UnRar X. It is free and handles all .rar files no prob.

So it ONLY happens with SOME .rar files?
If so, then it might be because Stuffit has problems decompressing .rar files that are password protected. I can't remember if it affected Stuffit for Windows and OSX, or just one but not the other. I use a different app to decompress such .rar files, but I can't remember which and am unable to check it right now...

FYI, stuffit used to be the premiere compression program on the mac. ".sit" compression was superior to anything on the market....
used to, and was
alladin has let the program go to shit, and i would recommend most mac users to jump ship and familiarize with newer programs. It truly was phenomenal in it's prime, but it's a mere shadow now....

Try this one. It's worked for me in the past.

Great thread Qube, I had a similar problem. It got to the point where I had to unzip RAR files in Parallels...
