    372,384 KB I make it.

    Its a .rar file like Julio said, and I needed to uncompress it with winRAR not winzip or powerarchiver to avoid getting CRC errors.

    Once uncompressed, it comes to a little over 1 GB, and has 5,312 files in 799 folders.

    Anything else you see on Kazaa is NOT the file. Its most likely the demo of an older game.

    It runs OK on mine until I try to shoot at something and then it stutters a little. A guess with the odd tweak it would be fine...

    Papa those pics look awesome. I can't wait for this to work on my machine. I would play around with it today and tomorrow, but NOOOOOO my stupid teachers have to give me lots and lots of tests this week. Man this sucks. Oh well almost done.

    I finally found it! It looks awesome. The game seems to run ok (5-15fps) at 640x480@16 on my GeForce2 MX400 64MB. Thanks for the heads up!

    That is totally weird. I still can't play those videos. I'll try on my roommate's computer later. Still seems strange to me though.

    I have all that installed. I watched it on my roommates computer. It looks pretty sweet. I just wish I could either play it on mine, or watch the videos. I have been able to watch anything else, just not this for some stupid reason. Oh well I figured a way to watch it.

    Read up above in this thread Steg - it tells you how to launch a game. If you lauch a game the way you're doing it then yes - it will crash - unless you located the update that makes it not crash ;)
