Error When Loading Picture Or File for media Virtuemart 2.0.2

[johnall]

Why do I get an Error When Loading Picture Or File for media Virtuemart 2.0.2 and Joomla 2.5.4
Error EX:   
vmError: Media file buyerbroker7.doc should have a mimetype

Note: The picture and file will install but I don't know if it will cause any problems later.
I have the ecommerce package

I think this may be related to php version. A VM update may solve it (VM2.0.2 has a known security issue) or see this possible fix: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=96517.msg331827#msg331827
