Re: bridge

Thanks for your suggestion.
I created a new account with full administrator privelages and used both
log-off and cold boot but the game will not download.

This was the reason that I would like to completely remove all traces to
games so a fresh attempt can be made with no traves of old attempts.

Guess I'll just have to keep trying but I do not wish to do a clean install
of XP as not all program disks are available to reinstall all programs

It sounds like a problem I've come across quite a few times.. When you
update an older version of windows to XP, for some reason it seems the
"imported" user isn't granted full administrator privelages..
Try this.. open Control Panel- User Accounts then under "Pick a task" click
on "Create a new account"
then create for yourself a brand new Computer Administrator account..
Once this is done click Start-Log Off-Switch User and log on to the account
you just created.. Then go back to the zone page and try to install the game
again..
