Ello.  I just tried to download the and install the game.  At the end of the download I was prompted to open the file, thus beginning the installation process.  At this time I recieved and error code and installaion stopped before it even begain.  This was the code:

     Could not initialize installation (CRC) The parameter is incorrect.

My system:

     AMD\K6-2 450
     Via Apollo MVP3G AGP/PCIset shipset (Motherboard)
     394 MB RAM
     Radeon SDR  64MB RAM
     AWE64 16-bit Audio (SB-16 compatible)
     56K US Robotics Modem

Downloaded Version:

     AH1092.exe  26MB  3/26/02

     After running into this problem the first time I checked the boards, but found no refference to this type of problem.  So I deleted my first download and tried again.  Second download/installation atempt met with same error code and failure.  I would appreciate any help.

                                                        Thanks Wolftin

Were you download from AH or the Mirror site.

I just download the AH1092.exe 26MB from main site to install it on my friends computer with no problem.

You guys using download accelerators by any chance?  Just curious as the error you are getting would indicate a bad download.

Are you using AOL? if you are then log onto the internet, minimize AOL and open Internet Explorer. Go to our website and download the program through internet explorer and not AOL.

Thanks for all the help.

Yes I was using AOL, No I didn't use a accelerator and I believe I have DirectX 8.0.

Skuzzy ye be right.  It was a download problem (Maybe from AOL, I dont know)  Went to a friends house and networked with his system.  Then we transfered his original download to my system.  We found about a .7mb difference in the two down loads, mine missing the .7mb of course  :(

So I be up and running...or rather crashing now  :p...Hope this will at least help others in the future.

Thanks again for all the help:D

Just remember when someone gets behind you to fly straight and level.  They'll be expecting you to maneuver, and that will throw off their aim.

Trust me  :D
