Any hacks? :> :> <Snipped older post> It sounds like you are trying to install it in Win-OS/2. A lot of Windows programs seem to require a restart of Windows after install. Have you tried installing this program under Real Windows (not Win-OS/2) and then migrating it to the desktop? At least if you know it has installed correctly and runs properly under Real Windows then you'll know the problems under Win-OS/2 don't involve the installation itself, only the running of the program. Same for installing the Win32s software itself. Richard Person richbp@ix.netcom.com
