Been trying to download blocks from this great site but getting window saying " end of evaluation period, Sorry this pre- release product has expired" and then screen gets jambed up for a few minutes.

Anyone know whats going with the site or is it from my end?

Hi civeng80,

Must be something on your end, it seems to be working fine for me, and download quite a bit from there.

civeng, you need to download and install any service packs or hotfixes for your version. That will fix it...

Thanks mcgyvr !

Installed ts 107105 hot fix but now I get the message from
AOEMView Drawing file not valid.

I tried downloading from other sites from zip files and no problems there.

So any ideas?

Cheers!
