Hi Stewart,
It sounds like the files coming from the Mac do not have the proper
extensions on the file names for your Dell to recognize.
The extension should be .MW2 for Microworlds Pro. I don't know the
extenstion for the EX version but you should be able to check that on
your computer.
Just rename the file and add the proper extension and you should be good
to go.
Dan

Hi,
My name is Stewart, and I have a little problem with Micro Worlds EX. I
tried to receive a game that was created on Mac OS 10.3, and when I try
to open the game, it gives me this error: "Invalid File Format." It has
happed so far with two games, one a Micro Worlds Pro game, and the
second the EX game, both created with Mac OS X. I use a Dell PC, Windows
XP, Pentium 4. Any help or sugestions would be greatly appreciated...
I also have the V. 1.1 update.
Thanks,
Stewart
