Alternate Method
----------------
 
If you have trouble downloading from the Web site, you can try
our alternate server, which also uses a different protocol (the
FTP protocol):
 
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/deskapps/mmapps/public
 
Click the Cinemania 97 or Music Central 97 folder and look for the
updates. The Updates are the files with the "C7u" or "M7u" extensions.
 
Your browser can use the FTP address above. If downloading still fails,
contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for general Internet
troubleshooting.
