Bit slow Adrian. I've had it running for a couple of hours, with all the optional bits.

It's far better than my French. Thanks to you and Patrick for a Linux version. Now I have another reason to pull out the ATI video card and put in the NVidia one.

It is unlikely you needed to download again, unless you didn't save it.

How long did you wait? An on demand virus scanner might take quite a while to process it.

Did you try installing straight after a reboot? There could be locked files screwing it up. I had to do that to get something to install the other day.

Maybe something got left over in the registry. (That has to be the biggest curse M$ has foisted on everyone.)

Greetings for the Winter Solstice (appropriated by later religions for their own purposes) to all, irrespective of your choice or non-choice of faith. (Yes, I know it's summer here, but the celebrations were imported from the NH.)

I downloaded this last night and installed it today. Best atlas of the moon I have ever seen especially with the high res. textures. Going to be a very useful tool and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I agree, very useful and have used the PC version under VMware on my Mac for a couple of years now. So I really welcome the Mac OS X version. I've installed it but have noticed the information section is difficult to read and I haven't found any preferences where I can change the font / size. Has anyone else seen this?

Regards
