How to get Sky Sports Desktop Alerts
Downloading Sky Alerts couldn't be simpler. All you have to do is click on one of the download links. Then, select "Run this program from its current location" if you use Windows 95/98 or if you use Windows 2000/NT/XP, save the file to your desktop, then open the program. It will take seconds on an ADSL or LAN connection or around 3 mins on a 56k modem.
