You may have gotten a corrupted download. That's sometimes the problem for some folks.

BTW, I see you're in Hatteras. What kinda internet access is available down there these days?

Yeah, its tough just to keep the lights on sometimes. Maybe The new DL will work for you. For what its worth, I had a strange problem a year or so ago after a fresh download. The game would error out when I tried to run it, blah, blah. I wound up looking at the properties of the .exe and it was set to run in compatibility mode for Win 95 or 98. I have absolutely no idea how it happened but once I changed it it ran just as usual. Go figure.
