Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me out here. I downloaded the High Res Patch and unzipped it, but for some reason only the 1028x1024 patch fixer will extract. I'm unable to use the original patch first, would anyone happen to know why...or be able to give me just the .exe for the original patch? Many thanks, great board.

Turn off your anti-virus program, and then try again.
I know, sounds fishy, but everyone on this forum can assure that the program is safe; however, anti-virus programs lately have been identifying the patcher as a virus (Specifically, an unspecified, generic trojan), due to the fact that it's a program designed to change the code of another program. Sometimes it blocks the program fm running, otehr anti=virus programs will simply delete the file on-sight.
Once the patch is installed, you can delete the installer and rar file, and turn your anti-virus back on.
I would suggest disconnecting from the internet as you do this, though. Don't want to leave yourself open to attack.

Well, you've officially proven to the world that you are amongst the greatest minds of our time. Either that, or I'm a complete and utter failure at life. Take your pick. Either way, your solution worked and I'm forever in your debt.
I love you. Don't worry though, it's in a completely homosexual way Steele. ;)
