No? > Dear Paul, Thank you for your quick answer. I am using OS X 10.1.2 and entourage 10.0.0 (1309). I tried option 1. No such luck, they do not open under entourage, nor can I import them. Option 2. You mean simply copydrag from the CDROM to the harddiskicon? That doesn't work either. Any more options? Or are these files simply empty (though some contain more than 6 MB as is indicated under 'show info' in the finder file menu) Hope you have any more in store.
