    Instead of screwing around the downloading the ETK, why don't you just go to RealOEM.com instead... ?????

    i have found out, while buying lots of stuff referenced from realoem part numbers, that not all of them are correct.

    Default There's something weird about that , I have 2 newer versions running

    on my machine, much newer than 2000 and they aren't version 3.0

    Ok, stupid question time....


    what program should I use to unzip the ".rar" file that I get when I download this????


    Shareware or something readily available for free would be preferred. My PC has the bare minimum of programs loaded on it, and I sort of like it like that...

    Default I use winrar. but you better use a virus scanner first..

    I'm skeptical about this version of the etk ,especially when its broken up and zipped up into rar files.

    even if it is a virus it will only turn into an exe or something but wont auto launch. put it in its own folder and then you should scan it.

    rar provides better compression than zip.

    edit: see no problem it being in rar files. everybody have antivirus software these day. Even if you don't scan it before running, the resident monitor should block access to the file. With my antivirus I don't even need to click on a file, openning a folder with a virus is enough for it to display a warning.

    Its pretty common to split big files.. Its hard to find a free upload server for files greater than +/- 50mb

    that way people with low bandwith can split up the dowload over longer time

    rar uses a split archive design, so as long as all the parts are named sequentially, the program will extract the common file they contain properly.
