This is the  AABox MS2-MAX v1.7.0   distribution of osCommerce 2.2 MS2. This version was originally constructed by Michael Sasek for AABox Web Hosting .

The first thing you should do, if you have not already, is read the README_MS2_MAX_1_5.txt and the README_MS2_MAX_GRAPHICS.txt files located in the main directory of the zip you downloaded. They tell you the default login email and password, and where the main template graphics are located.

The official MS2-MAX Support Site is http://oscdox.com . There are very active support forums, the oscdox guide, and everything related to MS2-MAX. This is the place to go if you are just starting out.

Special Thanks to Paul at TemplateShopper.com for providing the new base template/design for MS2-MAX 1.7.0. Templateshopper.com provides template design for osCommerce and MS2-MAX. They fully support MS2-MAX and the BTS, so all their MAX template packages are very easy to drop right into MS2-MAX. If you want a custom look for your store fast, and at low cost, TemplateShopper is the way to go.
