| 441032 | 2006-03-28 06:04:00 | Hi Graham L, Yes been there done that - in desperation but the only "thatgame" site adcertised( even with a picture of thatgame chess board)eventually is channelled to the Pearl Harbour Invasion by the Japanese. However Sweeper re downloaded Godfather's file it worked and he resent it on to me.- I saved it to a f/d and in theory when I can get round to my mate's virgin computer"thatgame" install I will see if that works- Sweeper says he tried it out and it worked, but I know Sweeper used to play this version of chess before walking away from it---and I wonder if the "critical" files are in fact still on his pooter. My Mate's pooter has never seen thatgame before - so if it will install thhere I am away laughing effie c |

| 441033 | 2006-03-28 06:26:00 | effie c All that your problem was, is that your download became corrupted. Simply deleting the downloaded file and trying another download would have worked. I have just downloaded and extracted the file, no corruption is present in the file. As Graham said, corruptions in downloads happen. Its not a terminal event, you just delete the old one and do it again, it's a very small file even for dial-up. As for "critical files", that file is the complete installer. It has no dependence on anything else that may or may not have been on the PC before in the way of Chess files. |
