How does this myDSL work
I tried click on the button, "get it", but nothing chances

After clicking on a "Get It" button, does it eventually read at the top of the window..

Grabbing file <whatevername> ....

Grabbing file <whatevername> ...Done!

If successful, you should see it in your menu <rt. click on desktop>
- Look in MyDSL...

Is the computer your trying this on connected to the internet?
This application pulls "extensions" from the DSL repository.
On a dialup, many of these files could take many minutes or hours to complete.

Let us know..

It shows "grabbing file", but never done... nothing happens over the network either

EDIT: I have a pretty fast connection, but no network activity :S

that is strange, do you have a firewall?
