Make sure you are trying to open the actual file and not the ghost file which is created by the Mac OS. I know this from using a Mac file server and my Windows machines on the network. The ghost file should appears as almost grayed out in Windows file explorer. These files may be either zero byte files or very small in size. These files create havoc when I copy files to my MP3 player from a Mac running OS X. HTh
