I found the .msi in the windows downloaded installations folder, wasn't in my temp folder. Also there is no 'Phone Manager' on the newest bundle - File Manager I installed though.

what gives...?

When I run the installer it gives me a message that I need a Win 2000 or XP. I click OK and the setup then thanks me for playing and tells me to try again. I run Vista Ultimate.

Any and all ideas will be greatly appreciated
