DJ, thanks for sticking with me on this. I doubt I'll be ready for race but will continue to take advise.
Yes "disk write error" like in your second pic. But every ten seconds or so. Hadn't seen that on other attempts. Really thought true HD problem was remote but easy enough to switch drives and the problem went away.
Will pursue your suggestions but in mean time here's some detail as to what Ive seen.
When I did file validation it said something similar to "files missing- will be downloaded" with only a "finish" or "close" button available. I clicked that button. Then on the main screen, the rFactor 2 library-listing at the left says "rFactor 2 - Update Paused". And what is normally the PLAY button says RESUME. Clicking RESUME shows the progress bar flash a quick download (and shows advancement of bytes amount downloaded) the returns to RESUME. With about 3 RESUME clicks it shows100% data downloaded but still only offers the RESUME button, not PLAY. So there I'm stuck. Trying to do file validation again does exactly the same thing... progress bar next to RESUME button flashs a quick download but button still only shows RESUME.
