Dear Sir,
Thanks for your timely reply. However, what you instructed me to do
was not enough.
The notebook computer I recently bought has wireless capability, so I
disconnected my modem and connected to a wireless network. The Cremona
Database downloaded and installed successfully.
Once again, Thanks.
