Thanks, Borate.  It did download and it did install.  But it was tricky!  

First, when I ran the executable, it gave me a popup telling me that the program only worked on Windows 7 and, surprise, driving me to the NCH site.  I then tried the Windows compatibility troubleshooter, which gave me an error message.  I then tried to run it as administrator.

I don't know what worked... but it worked.  I put in my old registration credentials and it is now good as gold!  Appreciate your assistance. 

I am saying I had to uninstall it from that computer for reasons that are not clear to me, and that I have subsequently been unable to download the software in order to reinstall it.

It is amazing how they filled the Net up with traps to get you to think you were downloading 2.41 and instead you're downloading their incomprehensible new version.

But I would really like to know how they reached into my PC and stopped me from using the installation of 2.41 I have had on there for years.

I don't want to argue about it.  I don't want your new versions, any of them.  I loved how 2.41 worked, I mastered it and I have a lot of compatible projects I want to use it with.

I see what you did on the Internet.  You made it impossible to download old versions.  You planted files that look like old versions that push users to your site.

I WANT THE OLD VERSION.  IT WORKED BETTER. IT WAS MORE INTUITIVE. IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH MY FILES.

Tell me what you want.  I... I have money.
