Hi-I've just changed platforms to windows from mac. I've having all kinds of growing pains, but I noticed my first read thru of my Downloads folder files the sims2pack installer showed thousands of ghost files, empty packages. Most of them registered as duplicates of existing files. When I searched for them individually the windows system couldn't find them. Do they really exist? Could they have been caused by transferring files from the mac? I'm deleting them all on the principle that they contain no data, and are therefore useless. Is there any further information on this, or how to avoid it in the future? None of the files had any of the umlauts or other altered vowels or symbols that confuse Windows. All the empty package files names started with ._ and the name of an existing file, ie ._pinkbathbarbie (highlighted pink as a duplicate) preceded by pinkbathbarbie.
Thanks for any information on this.
