Hi Andrew
It was a 66Mb download which hung part way through, so I had to re-start it again, but it finished okay. There is an option to request a CD.
It took several minutes to install and the “read before installing” notes advised that my ATI Radeon 9800XT graphics card would lose its portrait/landscape capability unless I installed the latest SW and Drivers from ATI (now AMD!).
After SP3 completed there were still another 4 downloads due to various Office products I have installed.
The ATI uninstall and re-install took several re-boots so overall, it took a couple of hours from start to finish.
I did try to short cut the ATI upgrade but my Dual TV Tuner card didn’t like it so I had to do the full ATI uninstall and re-install – sigh, I should have listened!
Starry Night Pro 6 and The Sky 6 Pro seemed to open and display correctly at face value, but I’ll check more comprehensively later in the day!
Cheers
Dennis
