Can't get "hjsplit" to work?

Hi: I have tried all means ( to me ) and cannot get "Hjsplit" to join files? I normally download all files to a folder - say "Video". The sequence is as follows: "My Computer" (on decktop) then to "D" disk drive, then to "Video" - where all to aforementioned movie clips are located. the clips have the .001 - .005 attachment so that's OK. BUT I am unable to bring any file to the "Hjsplit" input box?? I can't get the folder "video" to expand so I can start to place the file? What am I doing wromg?
Any suggestions? RS

All files should have the same name, except the extension.

Example: xxx-abc.001, xxx-abc.002, xxx-abc.003 and so on.

Open HJSplit.

Press the Join button.

Search for the first file by pressing the input file button (all files have to be at the same place/folder).

Output leave untouched, the finished clip will be at the same folder as the split files.

Click start.

HJSplit will tell you when finished.

Sir: All that you said below would be great BUT I can't get the "Hjsplit - Join "input box" to FIND my clips? I have placed them in various folders even in "my Documents" but when I press the input files button it goes to various folders and NONE of my folders ( the movie clip folders) are listed???? This is driving me bananas trying to make this work?
Need further assistance RS

It may be that you have "Hide extensions for known file types" set.
If your file is "abcd.001.txt" then it would show on the screen as "abcd.001" and have a file type of "text". If so, then you need to rename it before you open it with HJSplit. Check like this:

Hold down the Windows key and press E to open an explorer window.
Navigate to where you stored the files.
Right click on the ".001" file and select "properties".
It should say "Type of file: 001 file" If it doesn't, then you need to sort out what the extension is.

If i understood you right, you cannot access the folder you want within the opening input-file mask. Maybe it's a roblem with access-rights. Have you installed the HJSplit file under your account? Maybe try installing it again.
When you open HJSplit and the join-dialog and select "input file", which drive letter and folder do you see? If there's nothing preselected then something is wrong with the *ini settings of HJSplit, cause it should be the drive that you used the last time. If you can see for example "D:", try copying the files to the drive and folder you can access and not try opening the folder the files are.
Another idea: Open the windows explorer and look for your .001-files, then open HJSplit and make sure that the windows explorer is visible in the background and move the hjSplit windows so that you can see the 001-file, click "Join" and repeat the action (move the windows that you can see the 001-file) and then "input file" and if necessary, move it too.
You should now see the windows explorer in the background and you should see your 001-file and you should see the HJSplit-window "Select the first input file". Then click on your 001-file and keep the mouse buton down and move the file into "Select the first input file"-window.
This should work as a copy-function and the 001-file should appear now in your HJSplit window. Just to make sure everything is ok with the installation of HJSplit. Don't forget only the first (001) file is copied, so don't continue with this operation.

And if you don't come nearer to a solution you can also try to install 7Zip-filemanager or WinAce-Archiver. They can also handle these types of files
