He says Windows shows him a compressed file icon beside the .001 file, and this is wrong.

zippo, here is what I suggest:

Right click on the .001 file and select "Properties". ----> Choose the "General" tab. -----> Look down to where it says "Opens with". -----> If it doesn't say "hjsplit.exe", then click the "Change" button and click "Browse"; change it so it points to hjsplit.exe.

Once you've done this, the icon beside the .001 file should be a check mark. Double-clicking it will start HJsplit. You then select the .001 as the input file and proceed as described previously. As long as all the files are in the same folder as .001, HJsplit will join them and you will have your movie.
SUCCESS yipee...

OK what did I do, even though I was following the instructions my computer was recognising the .001 file as a Zip, when I changed it as instructed above to open with HJsplit still only the first part was viewable so I deleted the .002 file and redownloaded that, I then ran HJsplit again and BINGO all parts joined
I can only assume that the.002 file was somehow corrupted during the first download, and didn't allow HJsplit to locate the other files?

Thank you all so much for your input it seemed a simple process and in the end it is.
