OK...so here is the info:
1. Download from the link in the e-mail that I got. I used the first one in the e-mail.
2. I downloaded to the desk top and ran it from there.
3. I opened the .dmg file on the desktop and ran the patch. It asked me which volume the game was on and I pointed to the correct spot.
It ran, said it was done. Went to open the program.....black screen.
I have downloaded the full version but have not tried to reinstall.
SPECS:
MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo; 2 GB of SDRAM OSX 10.4.9
Hope this helps.
