From: Anders Persson on 29 Jun 2010 16:36 I added a note about the internet access on the download page now in case people don't read the "news"... If you block PRG Starter in your firewall, the program should work anyway, just that the live message feature will be disabled.

Yes, once I realized that my once-burned-twice-shy method of installation (not unchecking the box which lets it fully install) allowed the program to install, but not set itself up, I tried a second time, trustin the software more during installation. Then it set itself up correctly. I tried it out viewing various Koala graphic files and it worked. However, when I did the "Disk Tool" on a .d81 it brought up a vic20 emulator to show the contensts. I'm sure I'll figure that out. Sean.

Ok, check my previous answer about the disk tool, or click on "Tips & Tricks" on the site: http://user.tninet.se/~jad615g/prgstarter/ Anders On 2 Juli, 13:56, "Sean Huxter" <sean.hux...(a)SPAMverizon.net> wrote: > "Anders Persson" <ylle...(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > > news:f3d08c7e-2da3-4836-8b0d-f0bd5c70bb50(a)a3g2000vbl.googlegroups.com... > > > Did you get it to work, Sean? > > Yes, once I realized that my once-burned-twice-shy method of installation > (not unchecking the box which lets it fully install) allowed the program to > install, but not set itself up, I tried a second time, trustin the software > more during installation.
