DAMN!!! Read it more slowly now… Wish I could give you more than 1 rep for that… You have really put in a lot of effort on that!!!

I am really speechless… Keep it up!!! Way to go!!!

Thanks for appreciating my efforts.

I have spent a lot of time on each of my Special Posts.
I have written it such that any one without any sort of knowledge also can make it happen.
Its hours of patience to write one post just for you guys.

EDIT:
@ nikhil - one more rep is a welcome :wink:

Dude!!! You think I have not tried that???

this is what I get

“You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Quad Master again.”

Whoa…really speacial post…

Keep up the good work :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

hey i was just joking about the second rep.
Its not possible to rep a thread twice

A problem… First of all the Clony XXL is a german version.

And alcoholer 4.1 is downloading as a .rar file. And then does not open. What to do???

Sorry Nikhil was just about to post the reply and then TE had a DBError
so couldnt post it.

Clony XXL check the first screenshot
Click on Options and Tools and the submenu opens up
it has flags click on the British Flag and its english now.

For alcoholer try this link

http://alcoholer.szm.sk/alcoholer.rar

[Verified the download it works]
Do you have WinRAR a software like Winzip to Unrar .rar files

Also try this link if the above doesnt work

http://download.softpedia.ro/software/CD%20TOOLS/alcoholer.rar

It downloads… that is not a problem… how do I use it from there on???

I have Winzip.

Download Winrar and unrar it

Good guide there, Quaddy! :wink:
