Title: Installation Problem
Post by: tce2506 on June 21, 2004, 02:30:52 PM: Ok, The download program is supposed to be 84Mb, according to the website. When I try to download it, my download manager shows 80Mb. Once the download is complete, it is only 78.5Mb and when I try to install AH2 I get an initialization error. Big surprise! So, any ideas on what is going on? Thanks for any help.

Post by: tce2506 on June 23, 2004, 01:58:38 PM: It is saved to my computer, but the file size is 78.5Mb. I've downloaded it three times now, and always end up with 78.5Mb. I'm guessing it's my internet connection(dial-up), but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something easy. thanks.
