Yes, I understand, I'm just hoping we can find some other people to try it. While I'm not familiar with XP, it could just be something in your hardware or setup, - anyone else? (PS, Christine, if you do decide to give Autotrax another try under XP at some stage, I searched and found these resources: http://www.pcmag.co.uk/Features/1134667 http://www.minnemacs.com/manyhighways/sandbox/xp.html http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1028071493 http://techupdate.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t482-s2119174,00.html http://members.aol.com/win4sports/win95.html <--maybe http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/pascal/runerr200/ http://is-it-true.org/nt/nt2000/utips/utips40.shtml <--a little help http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314106 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q301911 <--not much help )
