EtherealN Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 When you redownloaded, did you re-download to the same folder? You might, f.ex, have had your windows rename data1.cab into data1(1).cab due to a naming conflict. If that is the case, it won't work. The file name has to be data1.cab exactly.

fruitbatt Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 Ok tried that still no luck whats this md5 thingy that keep on reading about? My head hurts with this
mckee14 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 md5 is a checksum, generated by a standard for a specific file. if the checksum of your downloaded is not the same as the checksum of the original file on the server, the file is "damaged". this happens mostly with large downloads, and/or if the connection or line quality is bad or unstable. you can try a different method to download the files, by using a download manager. (google for "free download manager"). a downloadmanager usually keeps track of all the single small parts of a file, and is even capable to re-start a broken/stopped download. by the way, be happy with one hour :). at release-day, i waited 8 hours... and then the file was broken too :(. for gods sake, a friend hosted the files then and i could dowload it in 40 mins... 1 Democracy is choice, not freedom...
fruitbatt Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 how do i use md5 or is a automatic program. when downloading both files is it ok to download straight to desktop or do you have give a designated folder . has previously done straight to desktop. Man i wish i'd waited for cd version, patience would have been virtueous... AAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh
