Unfortunately, we've had too many reports to ignore of Windows 10 updates and latest installations doing this with our website - but not any other hosting freely downloadable files. There are reports also of Spooky2 becoming unstable. We find this so remarkable that we now strongly recommend that all Spooky2 users currently using a Windows 10 PC that's being updated to take your PC to a small "mom-and-pop" computer repair shop, ask them to wipe your drive, and install Windows 7 on it for you. It will be a small price to pay for having your lifeline to health restored. Don't forget to save your important files to a thumb drive before you have the hard drive wiped.\
I am about to change the text on our Downloads page now.

The advice is good, except many newer computers - like the dedicated Spooky2 I just ordered yesterday, will not run anything but Windows 10 since manufacturers have manipulated the BIOS and Processors to prevent backwards compatibility. Here is the example of Dell which I bought and just realized this today after spending $300:
