Guys - the problem is that Stuffit software is stupid and wants your preferences file - you have probably run the software before and created a preference file on a different disk. Stuffit tends to be annoying and not want to create a new file. However, if you continually hit cancel (Command-.) enough times it should ask you if you would like to create a new preferences file somewhere. Make sure you have no floppies in, and create a preferences file on the same drive where you run stuffit from. This should eliminate the problem. -Lono
