Please explain what happened to your computer and what the fix was.
Frankly I don't understand what could go wrong to the hardware as
opposed to the software? In any case, how did they fix the problem?

The new and the old version may have different settings in the .ini
file. They both might put dll's into the windows directory under
the same name but with different features, and problems of this
nature.

I would be most interested as I said in an elaboration of the
problem you ran into.

Thank you.
