How to Download Funletters!

If you download/install Funletters as recommended, the files will automatically install and be ready to use in Outlook Express or Vista Windows Mail!  It is very important that you install the correct version for your windows version.

1. Go to a preview page of a Funletter that you want to install.  Click where it says "Click here to Install." It is important that you make sure you download the correct file for your version of windows.
    
2. If using Internet Explorer 6.0, choose "Open" or "Run"   Click here for a picture guide.
    
3. If using Internet Explorder 5.0 choose "Open this file from its current location"  Click here for a picture guide
    
4. You may get a security warning (depending on your browser setting) asking if you trust the publisher (us), just say yes and the stationery will install itself to the correct directory and be ready to use in your Outlook Express!

Note: Entire sets are available for download on those pages that are complete (12 selections).  We are in the process of updating all Funletters for Vista Windows Mail so when downloading, be sure you download and install the correct file for your version of windows.

Although we do not recommend it, if you chose to download the exe file to your hard drive, just go to where you downloaded it, double click and let it install, and then you can safely delete the exe file.

Download Troubleshooter

The following covers most download problems or issues:

• Do you have a PopUp killer on your system? If so, you may not be able to download. The Popup killers may prevent your Download Window from "popping" up too. If you are using one of these Popup killers, you will need to disable it.
   
• Getting a Runtime error or error saying unable to create file or folder? If you try to install an Outlook Express version in Vista Windows Mail, you will get this error. You must install the file specifically for Vista Windows Mail.
  
  This is not available in all collections yet as we are in the process of updating all thousand + files to be compatible with Vista Windows Mail. We are making sure that all holiday collections are available for Vista well in time of each celebration.
   
• Did you get a warning "Authenticode cannot be found"? Since we do not ask for personal information from you and since we are on a dedicated server, we do not need to use Authenticode.  Just click "yes" for the download.
   
• We do recommend you turn off any download assistant programs such as Real Download, Gozilla, Get Right, etc, since these may redirect your files. Our server will not allow you to download if using some of these programs.  Our files are very small and do not need a download assistant program.  If you don't know how to to turn off your Download assistant, such as RealDownload or Quicktime's Downloader, just right click on the download link and choose "save target as" and it will bypass your download assistant program.
   
• Server Reset/Time Out means that the connection you have to our site has been slowed down and had to be "reset" by your ISP to keep from losing the connection. This can be caused by a slow connection on your end, or a busy router or trunkline between you and our server. Sometimes this will happen when the entire web itself is experiencing heavy traffic, or if a major trunk line is down that you may have to go through to get to us. Just try again later if this happens, or click the "refresh" button in your browser.
   
• Corrupt File or Insufficient Data: If you get a "corrupt" or "insufficient data" warning, it means the file did not download completely and you will have to delete the one you have and redownload. Losing a single byte during data transfer from the web to your computer can cause this. It does not happen very often, but when it does it is usually because of a busy server, your ISP is timing out, or web congestion.
   
• Having problems downloading? Such as QuickTime Error, "filmstrip with tear in corner" or "Plug In Will not Initialize"? Read the following information:
  
  A Note About Real Player If you have Real Player installed on your computer, it was recently automatically updated to version 8 (or higher).  Quite possibly without your knowledge, Real Download was also installed on your computer. We don't agree with such tactics but have no control over what REAL does with their software. It's important for you to know that we do not allow "Download Assistants" such as Real Download on our servers. They cause others to suffer slower downloads, use excessive bandwidth, and cause other problems with Web servers. Many sites are now prohibiting the use of such tools and more will follow in the near future. We think it's important for you to know that Real Download may have set itself as your "default" downloader, (without your knowledge). You must disable Real Download before you can download successfully from our site or just hold down the control ("Ctrl") key on your keyboard when you click the link. Your web browser will handle the download as if Real Download wasn't even there.
  
  A Note About QuickTime: QuickTime also installs extra programs without your knowledge. While you may need or want QuickTime Player, you most likely don't want the extra programs installed with it by default (Quick Download among others). If you've already installed QuickTime and it installed other programs without your knowledge, you may not be able to download from Cloudeight without experiencing the following error "Plug-in failed to initialize". It's important to remember that no plugin is ever required to download from Cloudeight. It is an error in your QuickTime installation that is causing this. There are two solutions, uninstall QuickTime and download the latest version, being very careful to select only the QuickTime Player application and not allowing it to install other program or become associated with anything other than QuickTime files (it will want to associate itself with MP3 and MIDI files among other things). The other solution is to right click the download link (on the download page itself) and select "Save Target As" and download the Cloudeight file to your desktop and install it by double-clicking it.
