    don't give up yet, do you have a 2nd hd you are not using at moment. if do offline current hd & load windows & try download from afterdawn & see what what happens. might be software corruption, glitch or spyware/virus??

    I did have a worm of some kind, House call got it..Ran- spybalster. Adware PC Bug Dr.
    PcCillin did their thing... don't have avg yet. You would think some one stole Christmas away form a 3 year old the way I feel right now. LOL pity party here LOL I do have some older HD's around. Figuring out settings and which would work in this MB is another story. Whew!

    Had to send new MB back second time now, this is older pc using till I get the new MB back in the post. It replaced this one. LOL Took me a month of Sundays to get this one back online. I can not afford to take it to a shop. Fortunate just to have a part or component. What ever they are called... I put it together programmed it my self. Manuals are real hard for me to understand. Pictures in them are great.
    If I knew what the heck that word meant It may be better. LOL Was so grateful
    for the guides here. I could not read the guide online and work on project at the same time. LOL I copy and print out to put in my lap or some where close. Great Guides! Maybe you are not supposed to copy the guides. I don't know, I did see any rules about it any where.
    It was for personal use only. Well no matter now. dodo is dodo.

    Greatful for any and all information, help and guidance.

    P.S. is there such a thing as a spell checker that will spell check your post so snobs' wont complain about it?


    One more thing. I will not give up, not in my nature. Where there is a will there is a way.

    addition edit
    what is offline current hd & load windows? if you have url to the how to would be great I'll try that. Don't go to a whole lot of typing and trouble.

    don't worry about snobs about typing they're probably as bad as the rest of us. don't load everything onto 2nd hd just to get it up & running & see if download.

    If clean HD it should work just fine.
    No stopper on it.

    Could do registry edit to take it off this HD maybe... LOL

    Only if someone at AfterDawn put a stopper there, there would have to a reason.

    I want to know that reason. Do not like not being welcome at home.

    I will sys info find out what kind of HD this P4T uses, look around see if I have a extra some where.

    Older HD
    It is not easy for me to get to DOS to format old HD.
    No telling what ver. of Win would be on the old HD.
    Once you have format a HD in DOS you can still do re format NTS what ever win xp uses? or is it the other way round? I fried a couple of HD with a win ME boot / fdisk / format before :) finally found out that problem the hard way. Winxp do not like it at all.

    make certain you are using either win98 or winme boot disk not dos6.x boot disk. can fdisk than format the hd in fat32 than boot up on xp cd, it will ask you to stay as fat32 or ntfs, stay fat32 than continue load of xp

    Did not use my Arnold2 nic to sign in.
    Also the Regedit did not work.

    Looks like they would just tell you, so one would not have to go to all the trouble finding out the hard way.

    WEEEEE

    old HD New WinXPP Sp1a No problem downloading at all.
    What in the world could have caused the problwm with the other HD and programs... I ususally blame everything on Direcway Satalite .. Come to think about it a lot of my downloads from that connection were corrupt had to re do. I could download from Download.net no problem or anywhere else for that matter. Just AfterDawn No download... I do not have Direcway set up on this HD. dial up connection..
    How can I find out what is going on ?

    Going to reconnect the other HD now... The No dl HD lol
