HA HAH

I fixed it!!!

The problem is so funny too, big loophole in Windows XP. When I re-format my computer using the non-destructive method, Windows, makes a new Adminstrator account, but keeping the settings as if the previous Adminstrator was still active, so basically we have a Temporary Internet Files folder that does not exist, so therefore I can't download anything. I just made a new Admin account and deleted all previous ones and BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're just saying that to be nice.

But seriously, I was getting pissy because I let my computer stay on for like 3 days straight to download this game and now I can't download PowerISO to install it, BUT NOW I CAN!!!
