Anyone know how to disable this?

Options-> File Transfers

then uncheck the box that says "Automatically reject file transfers for known unsafe file types"

It is unchecked, and I still get the error.

Are you using the windows firewall?

check your configuration of that

also, do you have any virus protection installed?

Firewall is disabled completely. Also, I had one but I un-installed it

you should enable the windows firewall, or download a free one such as ZoneAlarm

you should also get some Virus protection such as AVG Free

WLM is probably blocking files as it knows you have no way of protecting yourself if they are viruses

No I had AVG while it was going on...Figured AVG was the cause so I un-installed it (i still have Norton, among others) sot hat can't be it. And my firewall was disabled before and it still accepted files.

when u get the file from the person dont click it in the convo go to where the files get saved and run it from there or download and run the apatch and have it go them files go threw with no warns or google for the reg trick

i find that norton causes more problems than it solves, haha.

is your subscription up to date?

all i can suggest is checking the settings on the file transfer tab in options, perhaps using them to enabling a virus scan upon file transfer completion and seeing if that helps.

i don't know how you have so many problems with WLM, no-one else seems to experience this sheer multitude of problems!

Okay this is very strange. I can recieve other file fomrats such as pictures, text documents, etc. but not .mp3s?

"i don't know how you have so many problems with WLM, no-one else seems to experience this sheer multitude of problems! "

Yeah I know. I must have experienced like 20 errors in the past month alone.

Again:
