i have installed the downloader but everytime i click on it to try to open it.. nothing happens.. the hour glass comes up for a few seconds then goes away and then nothing. am i doing something wrong?

[Mark]

you have to download the .ants file from tour central, double click that file and it will start.

[antsmrching23]

ok i just did that and the same thing as before happened... any other ideas?

[Mark]

you saved the .ants file?

you configed the downloader?

[Joe M.]

are you opening AntsDownloader buy double clicking the .ants file?

[antsmrching23]

no i havent even been able to configure it... i downloaded it, installed it, but when i double click on it to configure it, nothing happens

[Mark]

look in your start menu. there should be a link to the config there.

you enter your ants username/password, the location of the folder where you want the shn's to be saved.

then double click the .ants file you saved earlier.

[antsmrching23]

the configure window doesnt even come up

[Mark]

uninstall it and then install it again

[antsmrching23]

done... same thing

[antsmrching23]
