Qualify by connecting from a U.S. or Canadian Internet service provider (we'll check that for you). I don't know how strict that is but you could try to see. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/all.htm?bShowPage http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/128bit/intro.htm Anyway congratulations on the job with Rare hope you enjoy yourself, I can guarantee they will be better than the game company I worked for :-) Nigel www.gameware.demon.co.uk
