The usual command is:

> patch - p1 --what to be patched-- < --patch.diff--

Obviously, you omit the leading ">" and replace the files with whatever.

If you get errors, you have the wrong patch version. Errors often come out as "failed hunks" and *.reg files.

Also, can you please find your old thread (we shouldn't have to go hunting for it) and add your message onto the end? It will come up at the top of the pile even if it's the first post ever made to this board. This will make it so much easier for us to ensure that you have the right software and patch.

Thanks,

James
