Jody,
Have you taken a look at the file names themselves, not just the extensions. 
I've noticed that when people send me files from a MAC they put capitals and 
spaces in the file names and for some reason it causes an issue when I try and 
open it on an IBM paltform. If the file names do have spaces or capitals my 
suggestion is to re-name the files on the MAC and email them over again.

Hope it helps,
Kyle
