Yes, the DSF HD Strings are the St. Thomas orchestra strings. They are an expansion pack for DimPro. There are better librarys out there but for the money and the ease of getting good strings in DimPro they are worth a look. As anything else they take some editing to get great results with. The presets are a little over the top but you can get good results.
And, Yes, I did get the free harps for Miroslav 2. Very Nice!

My samples folder is 12.46 GB, would that be correct?
Edith says: even with the Aria Player (77.5 MB) no way near 16 GB.

Yes, in case I open an old project, otherwise SONAR will complain.

I didn't remove GPO4. However, it does not show up as a selection in the new Aria browser. Haven't had the time to open a project that used GPO4. Should I expect any issues?

Hello,
I just downloaded GPO5 to my F external drive. When I right click to extract the files My task Manager says Not Responding. Any ideas? Once extracted and the installation came up I was planning to have Garritan installed on my main C drive. This won't work if I can't extract the files first. I am not very knowlegable with computer stuff. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have heard it is best to keep 4 on your drive because the Solo Strings that are Stradavarius and other priceless stringed solo instruments are not included in 5. I really haven't had time to look.
GPO4 comes up on my Aria browser as simply GPO.
Mack, I would move the installer to the C drive. I have GPO 4 and 5 on my C drive but I custom installed and put the samples in a folder on my secondary drive. GPO seems to really like that setup. I think it will probably install once on the C drive but there is a possibility the download is corrupt.

Mack,
 
Don't want to lead you down a wrong road, but a couple possibilities.
 
The file is so big, the not responding may be just that it takes excess time to read everything in processa of unpacking it.
 
You could download a trial of WinZip which handles larger files than some of the windows managers.
 
If winzip can't open it, good possibility that the download file is corrupt. I had problems on a win 7 rig with weird messages that the installer wasn't compatible with the operating system.  That was trying to install from an external drive. Had to retransfer the file a second time to the C drive. So try copying the zip file to your C drive and extract from there.
 
Try two and everything went smooth. Program is rock solid and everything works the way it is supposed to. Really a welcome addition to the orchestral stuff.

looks like Sid beat me to the main points
