- Hi netters,
-
- Recently, I get A LOT of errors -50: paramErr (error in user parameter
- list) with files downloaded from the nets, particularly with .sea
- archives. When I try to open them (to run the self extracting archive),
- I get this error (sometimes it also says: "Run out of finder memory").
- When I check "Info", I find that both the suggested and the actual
- memory sizes are "n/a" (not available). Trying to enter any value into
- the memory size field returns the same "Out of finder memory" error.
- NowMenu'es Memory Sizer does not help either.
-
- What's wrong? And how can I fix this?
-
- Thanx for your help, B|
