Is there a solution? Well, you could try the cliche solution to problems on machines with big disks, the good ol' VirtualHDIRQ=False. But even if you don't get it to work, there is a *much* faster way that using the 'new' option in the Program Manager. Open up the Program Manager and the File Manager simultaneously. Find the executable files in the File Manager, and just drag them over to a window in the Program Manager. This will automagically create an icon for them wherever you dropped it. If you don't like the way it turned out, you can always change it with the "Properties..." menu item. -- Jim Seidman (Drax), the accidental engineer.
