That's odd- You shouldn't need Stuffit Deluxe. Try downloading the latest Stuffit Expander from Aladdin. That might solve your problem.

As far as I know, dropstuff is only for recompressing files, not expanding them, and to use the Ares files you should only need Stuffit 5.4.1. Although that may be the message you get when you try and expand a corrupted file....

Being the crafty sod I am, i've held on to my copy of aladdin dropstuff for around a year without paying for it!
You can download dropstuff with the expander enhancer at the aladdin site, and you don't even need to supply your name and email address. Believe it or not, it's free (provided you don't have a concience)
This could help, but maybe you'll need the newest expander too.
Best of luck...

the easiest way to solve your problem is when it says that you shoul open stuffit expander. From there click expand and choose the document u want expanded. It will force unstuufit and there u go...

I have the gatori obish plug. and if u cant play it your not missing much.
but if u really want to play it make sure it has the right icon on your desktop. it should look like a document with a little cruiser on top of it once its unstuffed. but i dont know what it looks like still stuffed (could someone help me here) but i could also e-mail u gatori vs obain.

Ummm...wow. I think what you need to do is to look at the options it gives you in that pop-up window. One of them is either 'ok' or "unstuff". Either way, it SHOULD unstuff the file. If not, let me know...

I think you have a serious problem in your copy of Stuffit Expander. I'd suggest contacting Aladdin's Technical Support.
