Welll it's about not to matter WHAT I want to play--unless I find a site
that doesn't require a download manager..I tried WalMart and it keeps coming
back with the downloader can't install because win digital component isn't
signed or may be corrupt..which may be what's causing the problems
anyway..and I can't reinstall because I can't get RID of whats there...spt.
