Why does Archive Utility produce a cpgz file?

2008-12-29 Thread Steven Knowles
Hoping someone can explain to me why, when I double click on a zip  
file, Archive Utility creates a cpgz file of equal size?


I've looked at Archive Utility's preferences, but there are no obvious  
settings to tweak. At the moment my workaround is to manually  
decompress the zip file with Stuffit Expander, but it would be better  
if Archive Utility would decompress zip files automatically.


I realise I can change the system such that Stuffit Expander is the  
default application to decompress zip files, but is this the only  
option? It makes sense to me to have MacOS built in functions be the  
default.


Cheers, Steven

Hello Tom,

Did you try removing the Auto Updater Preference file ...  
com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist ?


Check also that you only have one version of Office 2008 installed  
on your new iMac.


Cheers,
Ronni

FREE Stuff

2008-12-29 Thread Nichole Shervington/Paul Vilkas
Hi All,

I have some computer bit and pieces I wish to free my mind of.
They have not been used in a while, but were in perfect working order last
time I used it.

Power Computing 7600 Power Centre (Mac Clone)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Computing

Sony Multiscan 17" Trinitron monitor

Umax Astra 600S Scanner

I have all the Manuals and cables to go with it.

It's free to anyone that wants it.

Pick up from Brentwood area.

Kind regards

Nichole
