Hi all,

Several times lately when I've tried to download something, (and then opened the icon that appeared on my desktop), I've gotten the error message that no default application had been chosen to open the application. What exactly does this mean? It's happened with several other downloads. At least two of these were files with .sit extension.

Help?

You need to have an application that can open .sit compressed files. I use Stuffit Expander. It seems like they should work with BOMArchive helper, though.
