PhotoStory

[john]

I have Photostory on my PC and recommended it to a friend. She tried to
download it and reported this (Quote)
"John - I am having real problems downloading the Photostory package - the
message keeps coming up the installer could not open this package so
something like that - any ideas?"

I tried to re-install and took the "Repair" option and had a message box
saying:
"Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from file
C:\Documents and Settings\ John\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\ZQC77LCT\PStory.msi"

If I browse the PC I find one with a similar name but with a slightly
different number.

Any ideas for both of us?

===================================
Just to verify...did you download the program
to your hard drive and install from there?
Trying to install directly from the net is not
a good idea.

Maybe deleting all of your temp and temporary
internet files would help.

I believe PhotoStory will only work on WinXP with Service Pack 2 installed.
Wasn't it a kind of reward for those people who upgraded?

Quilly,

Have a look at the new Anti-Spyware program CounterSpy
I recommend it, it worked for me at,
