Q. When I click on the download link I get the error message 404:file not found. Now what should I do?

A. This is usually caused by the download link being broken. Sometimes the email will not highlight the link entirely so you cannot get to the file correctly. The download instructions tell you where the beginning and the end of the link is. If it is not highlighted correctly then just copy and paste the link into your browsers address bar and hit enter. That should start the download.

The link will start with http:// and then have stuff in here and end with the item number. For example PS2-TS . You can get the item number off your Paypal receipt. Just copy and paste from the http:// and end with the PS2-TS (or your item number) and then paste that into your browser address bar and hit enter.
