The issue is that the link posted does not give a legit copy of the software, to get a legit copy it'll cost you $15... don't download this crap from the link provided. Go to the actual Kryptlogic site.

@IrishCatGod This link is for a legit version, the 32bit version was free. The newer 64bit is a paid for product that I worked with the team testing and releasing, and can get a discount code from my website.

Thanks

Hey securityactive, i just downloaded the Mirror #1 from the kon-boot website, and had it burned iso onto a CD. After I changed the computer startup to startup the CD first, all that came up is a blank black screen... Any thoughts?? Like it starts up and flashes to a black screen and about 30 or so seconds later I can hear the disc stop spinning and everything is just frozen.

@Blimey93 I can only think that either the image hasnt written correctly or your bios version is not supported.

I suggest trying it on another machine to verify.

I am looking to download this, but the main website doesn't have download. Also other places I have looked has it at 9kb. Is that the size of the ISO? I get a malware warning when I try to unzip the file also, is this normal?

@dadev1994 the software is crippled.. only worked for me on a vm.. I guess the paid version works better but its $15 every 6months!
