Mac to PC?

I downloaded a web page on a Mac and saved it as a web
archive. I now want to open it on a PC. Is this possible?
Every time I've tried it just spends ages trying to load it
then just gives me a shit load of crappy mess. Do I need a
conversion program? Any help would be great. This is
relevant to Aphex Twin as I have three pages the same and
they are Come to Daddy vid, Windowlicker and Ventolin.

Actually, in what format did you save it in?

Web Archive or HTML format?

Web archive. I made sure of that so that it would save all
the video as well.

Works absolutely no peoblem. I've done different copies
across to the PC. I've tried file extensions, opening from
within IE. Can't think of anything else. Had a search on the
web and nothing.

1) What version of IE are you using on the mac?

2) What version of IE are you using on the PC?

3) Are you using a PC formatted disk?

1.) I think version 5. Sorry can't be certain.

2.) Version 6 SP1

3.) I transferred them over to the mac using a link between
the two then I've burnt the files onto a CD using the PCso
yes. Though this shouldn't have anything to do with it as
the PC I first transferred them to wouldn't open them.
