i will go try doing it that way
thanks, its nice to have people like yourself and herm that will help a non computer literate like myself.
i'll let you know what happenes,
thanks, fish

well i draged it into the unreal folder, and all seemed well .
but when i tried to play it still posted "mismatched version"
i guess it doesn't like seafood.
fish

When you try to play, are you playing a network game or a practice session when this error occurs? If it is a network game, pay attenetion and right down the name of the file that is listed as the file the mismatch is occurring with. Then post it here so we can help you.

it happened every time i tried to join a game at the site you spoke of before (skills something) every time it said the same thing. "version mismatch"
i have not tried to play a game that is not online.
any ideas?

ok i just went and tried it again, i saw you (herm) playing.
it said the same "'monster hunt' version mismatch"
fish

Did put patch after did mod there is patch for monster hunt u file got to replace it won't work.
http://www.unreal2.co.za/mh/download.htm download patch there.

fish, be sure and open up the Unreal Tournament folder. Then open up the System folder. Now, drag and drop the file into the System folder. When it asks you if you want to replace the file that is already there, say "yes".

got it!!!!!!
thanks to all, i would have thrown the dell out the window if i didn't have you all to help me!!
thanks
