If it gives you the first file, the version of SparkPlug is fine. It
therefore implies that:

1) You transferred the file and it got corrupted.
2) You have a broken sparkplug (i.e. 2.23 is fine, but your copy of it is not)
3) Something on your system is crashing SparkPlug.

I had a customer yesterday that couldn't get SparkPlug to work while
!486 was loaded, so try that...

My money is on 1 though. Try downloading it again. if it still doesn't
work send me a disc and an SAE and I'll send you a copy of the demo
that way.
