Thanks. Figured it out and it works.

And how do I do that??? What zip folder and where do I find it?

On August 31 I downloaded a client from within the client and installed it after closing the client. Unfortunately, after the installation I received a Java error. So I proceeded to reinstall the client (downloaded from the FAF website) and updated Java. Neither corrected the problem.

The error I received was:

My error message was:

HELP!!

One other thing, what is the best way to install a client update? When I downloaded it from within the client, it took over 30 minutes. When I downloaded it from the FAF website, it took only 30 seconds. Why the difference in download times??

So, I haven't been able to play since August 31 and am about to give up!!
