Be sure that you have the time available. Vince Vince (406)
84529 2002-09-29 22:48:00 I do believe that it actually tells you during the setup program that it'll take a while, and how big it is. It should even give you the option of saving the download so you can install it later (on Win 9x at least - wasn't given that option on XP).

Think the download only takes a short time, but the install much longer.

I usually do those type downloads when I am going to have dinner or mow the lawns, or something time consuming
