Ok, per Panzer's suggestion I uninstalled AC and reinstalled it to try and see if that would fix some of the problems I've been having.
Ac reinstalled fine. I click on Play and "Installing Zone file for Asheron's Call" box comes up. It sits there for a minute and then another box pops up with this error:
"Failed to download
http://fdl.msn.com/zone/datafiles/client.ex_."
Help....what the heck do I do now?

Uninstall the program and manually delete the folder that AC is in. Then if you have a high speed connection, download the Portal Update (84.4 MB)
here.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... cpatch.exe
After you download the update, install it and then log on to AC like yo normally would.

Only thing I can think of is to uninstall everything ascociated with AC and reinstall it ... even uninstall all zone files and delete everything

Well before when I got to the zone file download box it was 995kb now it's only 129

. I guess that's progress but I'm still NOT ingame.

Sassy,
Optimism can work wonders!!
A 1000 mile journey begins with a single step.......... Unless you are rich and can just fly there
Good thing I am not rich. Think of all the excercise I would miss out on

(at least I don't do something silly like land with the plane

)
Obviously this is not a post to be helpful but to raise your spirits!
