Well, if the files are over 10 megabytes, you may have to slim the projects down a bit, by removing music, compressing (or degrading) images, that sort of thing.  How big are the projects anyway?

Re: Games not working.

Sometimes that happens when you have a large sound file in your project (longer than 1 minute at least). Just select "compress sound" under "Extras" to reduce their size a bit.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>
