I just downloaded the demo and it works fine for me on XP when I set up the .exe for compatibility mode. The download is fine.

Try the .exe in compatibility mode, genius.

a little less of the sarcastic comments and perhaps reading the question i originally asked may have worked better? :eyebrow:

Someone cutting your throat and fucking the wound until your head detaches would be better. Moron.

Don't mind this guy, maglalosus. He's a sad little person with an inferiority complex who believes that attempting to belittle strangers on an internet forum will make people like him. People like this are like the internet's version of cockroaches.

Turn of the lights, and they'll run under the refrigerator.

Way to be an ignorant dick Dexter. You've got no fucking clue. Stop crying because you made an ass of yourself.
