Scott, try this : 1. download the patch once more (it's very small) and save it on your c-drive 2. insert a floppy, open a ms-dos prompt and type : format a: 3. when done, change directory "cd" to the one with the patch 4. type : copy patch.pl a: 5. the screen will tell you that 1 file was copied. 6. remove the floppy, insert your mdk 8.2 CD 7. reboot 8. the CD starts whirring, now re-insert the floppy 9. that's all. If still in trouble, repost to the list. HTH Kaj Haulrich Denmark
