Status: offline 		hi all,
tried several times to install the latest update for TOAW III without joy.i have down-loaded all previous patches without problem.i get as far as saving the down-loaded file to desk top but when i open it a page flashes quickly on the screen then dissappears ,this is then repeated in a never ending loop to which i can only stop by rebooting system. strangely the same thing happened when i tried to down-load PKOstfront!

any help would be greatly appreciated. bill

Or maybe you could save the file to something other than your desktop and then right click and run as admin. Perhaps if you stand on your head while drinking a glass of water and whistle The Bonnie Blue Flag. Computers will do that to ya.

Some information from you.

The name of the files or patches you have downloaded and installed including the one that didn't work.

Your operating system.

Did you get the latest drivers for all your devices such as video, sound and motherboard?

Let me clarify: The update has to be applied to that installation. The update is not a stand-alone program.

Stupid question, I know.

Most lads play with the latest 3.4.202 anyway; but in case you have a PBEM running with an older version I'd suggest to install all updates, step by step and backup the TOAW 3.EXE, too.

Patch downloaded, OK

It's a zip file and I extract it to...?

Which file do I extract it to?

Forgive the amnesia.
