Help, lost some of my Ultimate extras downloads.

[LaureynsR]

Hi,

I upgraded from XPMCE to Vista Ultimate 64 bit over the weekend. Yesterday I
was installing some of my old apps., in particular a game GT Legends (GTL).
Unfortunately, GTL uses a copy protection that would not allow me to reboot
after installing. I had to do a repair and was able to recover. But lost some
of the all the Ultimate Extras I downloaded just before the crash. I was able
to change the restore point and recover most of them but some I still can't
get back. I can see them in the updates, but they are not installed and I
cant download them again. I can't find them on the HD either. Is there a
download cache I can reinstall them from?

Any ideas?

Thanks
