Hi all it didn't work. I must have done something wrong. I have the new download but the trial starts at the beginning. The 2 games are stored in different places on my computer so I tried copying the LDW folder from my orginal game to the trial and that didn't work I still had a brand new game. But I had emailed the site Alawar.com where I bought the game and they just now sent me an update to install over my orginal game and that should fix the problem they said. I have 1hour and 48 minutes left before the download is done. Not sure how to install it over the one have but will try and figure it out. Wish me luck since my game now has over 80 people and 500,000 tech points, 5 totems, and the food is around 70,000. Will keep you informed. ^_^
