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.

Sassy,

Optimism can work wonders!!

A 1000 mile journey begins with a single step.......... Unless you are rich and can just fly there :wink:

Good thing I am not rich. Think of all the excercise I would miss out on :wink: (at least I don't do something silly like land with the plane :wink: )

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