   After unzipping the download file, and starting the setup.exe, I was given this error: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
   I am not sure what to do. Can anyone who is a little more computer savvy than I help? Thank you!

   I had a few problems with it, but I got it to install. Well it really doesn't install so to speak because it's a stand alone program.

   I run XP, it would help if you had included your OS...

   Suki, what do you mean by your 2nd sentence? I'm sure I've heard that before - perhaps by WhiteRabbit - but right now my mind is drawing a blank on it...(chuckle).

   Crich,

   When you suddenly can't run .exe files - it often indicates a virus. Check it out!

   Standalone usually means no registry entry so it's able to be played from a portable drive and moved around. You can probably play it from a CD as well. Yes I used to mention it all the time, but decided to stop for obvious reasons. :)

   I'd try downloading the file again. If you have a slow connection, the time taken to download may be quite some time due to the size of the file and also it's popularity. On average there's several being downloaded every minute from the giveaway servers. Slow downloads can sometimes be prone to errors, so it may be that your download is corrupted.

   Have you read my problems/FAQ thread? You will find the thread in the stickies on the front page of the Game Discussion forums:

   If the problem persists try using a different file archiver such as 7 Zip. (you'll find a download link for that and several other archive programs in the link I've posted above.
