Good - i has figured it was just me clicking fast - I'm always in a hurry to get it done. I honestly dont remember seeing anything but the first purchase area, but as long as its there for others . My mother would spend $5 to get back $1.00 ...not me though..

| Fairvy~, At the very first purchase screen, where you have the buy now button, there was a second choice for the discount for registered OD users. That took you to a log on window that confirmed your status as an OD subscriber and then on from there. Worked fine for me (got it for the discounted price). |

They are included in the zip.
Anyone know if there's additional sizes of the wall in the zip anywhere?

Nice but one problem, the text in Outlook is so light you can hardly see your email. I will have to filter out Outlook from being skinned...too bad because I live in my Outlook!

After working with the RSS feed widget I have a question: Is there any way to view more than 1 custom RSS feed? As I was working with it, I found that beyond the 6 pre-set RSS feeds, I was only able have 1 custom URL. Is this true? Can I add more? If so, how?
Thanks

Its been 2 days and I have yet to be able to get this to download...its only 16 mbs - yet it times out before even getting half way there each time.
I have tried in the day - I tried at 3 am.
So if there is a way through SDC - could someone please explain .
I have download other things in the past few days that were bigger than 16 mbs so its not me.

| [Old Crab] I do hope everyone has a high speed dialup. I've tried 5 times tonight to get it dl'd. Yes I've got a download mgr. except Stardock dosn't allow redial or resuming. Sigh. Well good luck to all the dial up folks. |

I'm going to ask around about the download issues. I do know that we're seeing incredible demand for this particular suite and it may be causing some server load issues. If the issue doesn't resolve itself by noon today, please email support.

I'm having the same problem. No matter what time of day or night I try to download this suite, it times out. Then it either gives me an error message ("download failed") or simply starts downloading again at the very beginning.

I've tried and tried and tried. I'm about to give up. I've tried 7 times now. I almost got it when...SD stopped sending. This happened 4 out of 7 times. The other times ISP cut me off. I'm about to give up. SIGH.
