That is because Bulletin Board systems seperate messages from "files" and put them in seperate areas.\n\nAlso messages require less overhead and sysop attention than 'files'.  As a pre-internet BBS operator files coming from users carried a lot of risks (virus's, copywritten content and so forth).. Also in the 8.3 file name days an accurate description of the file also had to be maintained (usually with the file_id.diz files that were contained in the archives. \n\nThe transmission of files from one site to another also incurred a lot of time and long distance charges. As a Fidonet/Nanet NEC I could transfer thousands of messages in a compact archive in just a few minutes but 'FILES' took hours remember we were all dialup at that time and I stopped being a BBS Sysop just before the 56K V.90 modems became popular.  \n\nIf you are referring to Forum software that is also because most of them use some sort of SQL database to store the messages and retrieval and storage of a text message takes milliseconds and when you are dealing with thousands of users requesting messages every second every millisecond counts.  \n\nAlso most websites that host the forums don't have unlimited bandwitdth nor unlimited storage.  With text you can do a lot with a few hundred dollars per month website if you add the bandwidth involved in transferring program files you can quickly start paying a thousand dollars per month in either storage space or bandwidth usage. Then there again is the added maintenance involved in ensuring that the files don't contain virus's or trojans, are named correctly and also do not contain copywritten content. Way too much work involved.

Make sure your the administrator. If you already are, try running them in a different mode. Right-click, Properties, Compatibily and play around with them for a while.

try right clicking, where you downloaded it from, there might be more options that way. Also, don't forget to "check" ... "always ask about this type of file"

maybe the problem it's the cable, sometimes if a cable it's failing looks like you eresa or copy archives, but when you restart system the files continue there or not be copied

There is insufficient data for windows to open the files. Needs to know what program created the files. \n\nTeaser is just what it says, it is a tease. The other two are self explanatory. \n\nDarryl S.

Sounds like a bad file.  Trying uninstalling and reinstalling and hopefully that will resolve the issue.  As your buddy list, etc. are stored up on the server, you should be able to do this without lossing anything.

your hosting server may not allow hot linking of jpegs.. attempt this...use photobucket to host the photo.   you may e-mail me for further assistance.\nhyrue@sbcglobal.net.

Depends...you are probably limited to a certain file size by your I.S.P. You may be trying to send attachements that are too large.

Only if you have bluetooth enabled phone and bluetooth device on your computer. Mind you, if it is Symbian OS 7, 8, you can't open those attachments. Only .Sis install.\nUse Yellow FTP on your phone. You can send vice versa.\nShould I explain what Bluetooth is?
