You prompted me to do what I had been reluctant to face: to try to copy from the dual boot Demon CD and upgrade my Turnpike and IE. Two days later (at least six gruelling hours of letting Wizards creakily cast their spells) I have them installed. Turnpike definitely works but I need a breather before having a go at the replacement to my IE 3.0. But the point is that they did transfer, even though at times I thought nothing was happening: no dialogue box or associated graphic on the standard screen at times; and clicking OK or close window took ages, so that it was easy to click a following instruction before the first had been completed. Treacle! I'm using a 7200/90 with 49Mb of installed RAM. Maybe just time is needed? Keith Keith Crook keith@valperga.demon.co.uk
