MSPress Windows XP Book Download “Workaround” ;)

If you like me get errors when you click image Well, here is a way around that, so you can get what you expect, and not have to suffer through a lack of download!

Simply right click on the “Download E-Book” icon, and just “Save Link As” or whatever you see in your browser of choice (FF or IE).

It will pull down as a pdf_loader.pl, so you’ll need to rename it, but it should work fine.

(Just completed the download myself, and it works! Hooray!)
