may be the file is corrupted and is not re-downloading right. Then it keeps trying to use the damaged one instead. Just an idea, good luck!! Trevnal ----- Original Message ----- From: "~Lacey~" <stormy1@xxxxxxx> I will try that later but I'm almost positive (without looking at the other system) that all the necessary files are downloaded -- its during the installation that it returns an error, but doesn't even give me any kind of error code or anything. It says I have all the necessary files for installation but there was an error in installation, please resume setup and try again. (Yeah, like I've done that about 10 times by now). I'm wondering if this is a known problem with Windows ME -- I've never had it on any other system I've worked on but they've all been either win98se or win2k, or XP.
