Hi Guys,

I know this might sound like a dumb question, but currently at the moment im on JJOS V4.95

I put the "mpc1000_jv067.os2" in my CF Card ready to install it but it just doesn't show up. Even if i go into the load screen and try and do it from there it still doesn't show. Can someone just explain a simple way of how to install it.

Thankyou.

hmm, i'm wondering if that could be the problem, that for some reason OS2 doesn't show up on a CF card. can't see why not though.

nope, it's showing up fine on a cf card. describe the exact process you go through.

hmm, i think the problem lies in when you download it. what browser are you using? when you click on the download link on JJ's site, what does the window say that pops up?

could you rename the file with just the .os2 suffix?

Im downloading it via mozilla (pc) and it just downloads exactly the same as i do all the others and i put it on my card likewise i do on all the others. I think its because it's now .os2 and not .bin that may be why?
