Hi Richard: I am a new recruit also. On the complete instructions I read it says to DISABLE any anti-virus software that may be running. Usually this will cause errors and abort the download. Also this person must make sure they have the correct operating system to which the program belongs. This will also cause conflicts. If they have that certain WIN XP they said there will be conflicts. Sheila W. Hi... I run a Syndicate for FreeBMD, and a new recruit of mine reports: "I've been trying to download the WinBMD but my computer has a problem, it says error 25 while i'm downloading and aborts. Any ideas?" I have no ideas... but maybe some kind soul out there has? Richard Oliver Madrid, Spain r.oliver@arrakis.es
