Copy the original from your GPL cd to C:\SIERRA\GPL\, overwriting the old one, that should do the trick. Good luck! Gerry

The UK patch is just a self extracting exe. right click on it and choose to open with WinZip, then extract it to your gpl folder, that should do the trick. Mark "JC" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
