OK - I just downloaded and run. Very little happened. On running, I get a Guide
screen with no picture. If I hit 1 - 2 - 3 or etc (as for changing the screen
display) the new screen displays normally. I again tried the 'install to HD'
option (I now have several huge DSs) it still does nothing at all - despite
double-clicking and asterisks appearing as normal.
