Unzip the update to your games data-folder(update already has the db-subfolder), replape all the files when asked.
Do i need winrar even if i have windows XP
If you are uncertain about whether those unzipped files end up in the right place, you can also unzip the update to some temprary folder and then copy those files which are under db-folder, to your games db-folder.

After this you should be able to start new game.

I have windows xp I have tried this but for some reason its not working.

I downloaded it
winziped it
it comes out like a small telly sort of thing
I then put it in the db folder
I have tried updating the file with the client db from the database using winzip

something must be not right I be willing to use msn to sort it out if possible,

Does this update the transfers at the start of your game, or after the first season?

Help Appreciated.

You think? If you replaced the files(unless you deleted the old files before updating) when asked, then it's correctly installed. Did you use winrar for unzipping? Do you have patch 5.05 installed? Do you have legal/illegal version of the game...?
