I\'ve never used the program before, but I think I know how you might run it. If you open up the command prompt and run the file with the filename you wish to check typed as an extension, it should show you the MD5 signature for that file. So for example:

C:\\> md5sum.exe PS0V.020.10.Part1

That should then display the result. (Bare in mind that I don\'t have the program, so MD5sum.exe may not actually be what the file is called).


Okay, incase that\'s a bit too technical, let me explain exactly what you need to do, step by step:

1. Go to Start > Run and type Command (or go to Start > Programs > MS Dos Prompt).

2. Make sure the MD5sum program is in the same directory as your .Part files. Use the command prompt to go to that folder, and then type the full name of the MD5sum program aswell as the extension (again, I don\'t have the file, so I can\'t tell you what it is called). This is an example of what you should now see in the window upon completing this step:

C:\\Downloads\\PS> MD5sum.exe

3. On the same line, add a space, and then type the full name of the .Part file you wish to check. Press enter.

C:\\Downloads\\PS> MD5sum.exe PS0V.020.10.Part1 [Enter]

4. Hopefully this displays the MD5 signature now. Cross-reference it with those found on the Downloads page, and if you find any inconsistencies, you must re-download that .Part file.



I hope that works... otherwise I\'ve just confused you a hell of a lot more than I should have. lol :P
