Then why am I having a problem with these .sea files when downloading them with a Mac? I've removed the iCab-owned versions of the downloaded files. Cranked up IE. This time, instead of browsing to the page with the download links, I simply typed the download URL. The file downloaded with IE with a blank document icon. When I double- click it, it opens another IE window. If I view these files, on the PC, with Notepad, I see that there is something in them. The filename is at the end of the file. There is no identifying information in the beginning of the file (e.g. SIT). Two other .sea files that I can open on the PC both have SIT in the first bytes of the file. I'm starting to wonder if they really are .sea files or perhaps they're corrupted. Can someone please tell me what these files are or provide me the correct usable versions. http://www.lowendmac.com/sable/07/drivesetup15patch.sea and http://www.lowendmac.com/sable/07/drivesetup173patch.sea .
