After a major comp failure, I have tried to reinstall CS to no avail.
I get error MSG #486 ( I think that was it) and then it closes out.
I have the extended License that allows me to reinstall. And I cant fihure out what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated.

Ps to the guys I owe turns to hang in there.
Do you have Vista and are you in admin account?
I have XP and as far as I know I am not logged on under admin.
Also Cant get my WFII and EFII Gold editions to install either.
All games are on a separate physical drive (K) from my os drive ©
And before the crash all of them worked fine.
At Matrixgames JTCS forum are a few posts about 486 errors and they seem to be related to serial number errors. Maybe go to findmyorder and verify that you wrote the serial number down correctly.
I think you have to have admin rights to install programs in XP after all the service packs.
Results.
When I initially reinstalled, I down loaded straight from the Matrix site and put in my Serial Number.
This time I DL'd from the Findmyorder store site and it worked! Yeah!
Next question is do I have to install the updates/patches in order?or can I go straight to 1.03? (I'll wait on 1.04 untill I get this all straightened out)
I had to reinstall and went directly to 1.03.
It includes all previous patches.

Way cool thanks guys. I suppose I'll be owing ya'll a game or two?
Now all I have to do is to figure out the proper procedure for reinstalling my older Talon soft games,WFII Gold and EFII gold
Now burn a copy of that download from findmy order to a CD and write the serial number on the disc. If there is room on the CD copy the 1.03 too.
Then you won't have to download if something happens again.
Thats the wayto do it Paul i also have the update on disc now.Saves a lot of hassle downloading again.
