Anyone know which application I need to open to read .exe or .dms files? Or are these just unreadable in OS X? (Also .rar, .wmv) Thanks in Advance,

A .exe is a Windows-executable file - you'll need VPC, RealPC, or a PC.
A .rar is a type of file compression - check your Stuffit prefs that this filetype has been checked.
A .wmv is a Windows Media Veiwer file - grab WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 9 for OS X - works great on Macs. www.mactopia.com
A .dms is a new one to me.

DMS or MS dms:

According to the File Extension Source a .dms file is a Amiga DISKMASHER Compressed Archive.
Most of the time when I get an .ext file, it's a virus masquerading as an innocent email attachment.
