TSGL: Video Card Problem?

Fri Jul 11 18:48:51 EDT 2008

Heidi,

Yes, that link is where I got the corrupted file. But if you were able to
complete that download, be careful. Rapidshare, I believe, comes from a
Russian server. Lots of viruses (virii?) come from there.

Hi Russ,
did find the download for the file without any problem at 
http://rs39.rapidshare.com/files/103272715/HB_CD_9.5_FULL.rar, now I am just

waiting for the download to finish, but it seems it will not finish as it is

stuck at 95% and 43 seconds left...first try broke off much earlier and 
downloading with a download manager does not work at all? So I sure am 
interested in finding out whether the file will be okay when I actually 
manage to get it downloaded!... well, all done and I could burn the iso.file

and get into the programs. So the link must be okay.
have a nice day
Heidi
