I want to make sure I have this right....you downloaded SDC (the link I gave you) and installed it. When you then opened SDC and clicked on the WindowsFX app. to install it gave you an invalid URL error?

That's weird....

OK....two things:

When you open SDC are you in fact logged in. (check your reg. info in the lower right corner and make sure that info is correct)

Do you have a firewall up and if you do, who's

Yeah yrag I'm logged in. As far as a firewall I have Norton antivirus andother than that whatever firewall windows has. I run spysweeper if that helps.
I've never had an issue with d/ling as long as I've been coming here though.

Unless you hit the submit button twice, I believe we found your problem....

I got one of those tricky fingers yrag.

I sure did double-click. Also, I keep my security in internet options on medium.

I knew that was too easy.....

What version of FX do you have installed now and what version shows available?

I've got 2.19(b).002 and it shows 2.12.006 available.

Phil....that would be a downgrade

In SDC in the upper right corner click on 'Show Pre-release Versions'

Now what FX version do you show available?
