Several things come to mind...
First I would ask your sister what they were when she sent them.
(What were they supposed to do?)
AND were they actually EXE files when she "saw them last".
I have discouraged my sister from sending things like that.
With all the new e-mail virus programs and such going around
in is a very bad habit to get into.
Just an opinion. Lots of people love doing it, and I wish them well.

> Hi all, Thanks for the help with the Groupwise problem. All OK now. Another problem I have is with running any .exe files that my
sister likes to send me as attachments. After I've downloaded them and try to run them, I'm asked what application I wish to use.
I've been through all of them on my computer but non of them work. I have got some funny looks from friends when I ask how do I run
an exe file. How can I find out what application to use as my sister says she doesn't know? Is it possible that something unusual
has happened during the download? If I knew how to tell what application to use it would be easy enough but how do you do that with
a .exe file? Any ideas would be appreciated.John
