Visual C++ 2008 is the latest version of VC++. VC++ 5 is deader than VC++ 6 and VC++ 6 is deader than dead. As a programmer, you should already be well aware that you don't just click 'Run' in the web browser on a major download - download to a location on your hard drive first and then run it from there. And, as to speed, use a tool like DownThemAll (Firefox plugin) to create multiple connections to the server - if the download stops for whatever reason, it will restart where it left off. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
