Hi, I have downloaded World at War #5 twice now and when trying to install the game I get a message "error in decompressing?" - I think that's what it said. When I try to open files on the game menu some open fine and work great. However, the actual game program will not work. Any suggestions? :(

The full installation pacgacke has problem with that file. The file should be located in /snd/stream. If you have old version of the game use it's vid998.smk file or download the file spwaw upgrade package or in emergency you can get it from my site www.ee.oulu.fi/~cirrus/vid998.zip [ May 09, 2001: Message edited by: Cirrus ]

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the "vid998" file. Where do I have to put the file? I am not good at computer stuff, but I will learn. Thanks ;)
