Re: [guide-user] Major problem in Guide 8/solution

Owen Brazell Jan 29, 2002

I think that the problem is that you have to double click the entries as
posted already. I have done this with my install and all files came off OK.
This is also with Windows 98SE on a slow P233.

It is not clear but if an asterisk does not appear next to the data then it
will not install.
