Michael I'm in the same boat as you are. I can't email them to myself they are too large. I tried sending them to my briefcase but I am unable to do so. They are files from my instructor which are on powerpoint. I do have powerpoint reader on my machine. I am unable to use the "save as" when logged in to the university system. I would really like to get these files onto my computer at home, finals are coming up soon. Any suggestions?? I hope it's something simple!
After hours and hours of trying to download thses files I was able to fix the problem. Thanks to scrounging around on this site and getting ideas. The problem was in my powerpoint reader. I redownloaded the program, uninstalled and then reinstalled powerpoint reader 97. If anyone one else was having a similiar problem I might suggest trying this. For those in college good luck on your finals.
