I downloaded AnarchyOnline_17.6.1_epo but windows says it cant open it. I downloaded using torrent as suggested but I cant figure out how to get the game to install/work.

I registered and created my account but like i said im clueless as to how to install or log on, need help please!!! I also have the updated windows xp pack so thats fine.

The version i downloaded btw was the free trial. Torrent gives me the message unable to load "AnarchyOnline_17.6.1_epo" not enough storage space is available.

That would seem to be your problem, looks like your hard drive is full...

Large client with additional maps, help files, couple of account's settings is a bit under 3Gb.

Downloading small client atm to see if I encounter any similar problems. You can try downloading large client and runing that, since you can play for free on it as well (and it will save you some hassle later on if you decide to buy expansions and start paying). But will update on my findings in 30mins if I keep constant download rate.

Worked fine for me...when fully downloaded, I got : AnarchyOnline_17.6.1_EP0

Double l-click (or r-click+open) launched Setup. Clicking next, I got option to choose setup folder and info that I need 1.33GB free space. Another "next" gave me option to get desktop icon, another "next" info on my made choises and "Instal" button. After it was instaled, I let it auto-run and got some disconect/error msg. >But manually launching game, it worked (well, this client is 17.6.1. version, so to actually play game, I should do couple of patches to 17.7.2. first).

Where did you get torrent from? Official site?

Hmmm... There's been some wierd stuff going on with computers lately that I've personaly had to sort out... (not just with Anarchy) I'm wondering if there's some new viruses going around...

I'd scrap that file you already have & try again, delete it & re-download...
Make sure you're saving to disk & make sure you install to the larger space...

& let us know how it goes...

(Personaly since you do have plenty of space, I'd go for the large client...)

For the love of god, if you are running Vista, don't install into the Program Files directory.
