I recently purchased an new HP with Windows Vista 64bit. I can download the Acrosslite but Windows will not initialize the program.

I get this message:
Could not initialize installation. File size expected 1316988 size retunrned 349692.

I like to download and print the New York Times puzzles.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, but I already tried that. The 2 Acrosslite downloads offered are not compatible (for some weird reason!) with Windows Vista 64 bit. I've emailed the IT help desk at the NY Times and still no response from them. I'm ready to throw my hands up!!!:confused:

Apparently, it seems to be 32-bit only.

I know that this is not supposed to apply to issues that are considered to be
32bit vs. 64bit. However at least one person with an x64 system has reported being able to run Across Lite in compatibility mode. Don't know whether it was
v1.2 orv2.0. Might be worth trying.

Thanks for the input. I solved my problem by turning off the User Account Control, which did not allow Acrosslite to initialize. Acrosslite does not have a "valid" digital signature per Windows Vista.

After downloading and initializing Acrosslite, I turned the UAC back on. Now I just get the annoying message that Acrosslite is not safe, etc., which I believe I have disabled as well.

I hope this experience is useful to others. :)
