Scott,

     Vista has everything up to date as well as most of the other 
programs I installed. .
I have not had the time to check out Word Perfect on line since it 
really gave me such
a variety of problems. It automatically be default wans to store files 
in the Program folder
where the program is installed. When I changed the selection to a blank 
folder I created
under Documents it would not save a new file, however when I put files 
in that folder it
would save modified files I loaded from that folder.
 I have not let it save them in that folder. I am not having problems 
saving files with WORD
and I just downloaded Open Office which I believe will work OK.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
