It is likely compressed ... expanding it will be done by using StuffIt.

 

[andych]

i have expanded it and i get a autorun.ard file and it then says i have no application to open it

 

[cbetta]

maybe that is because .ard is a very uncommon format, and you probably just dont have a program to open it with?

 

[andych]

is there a programme i can get for mac to open it?..
cheers

What's the name/purpose of the file? I don't know much about ARD but Autorun sounds suspiciously like it's a PC disk image.

I never hear of such a file type, maybes its a windowz only file type.

If so, it's worth trying to load it with Disk Utility.
