I just got off the phone with Mark from Denver-going over these problems. He had me check the version of Design shop (2004 1/2) and never mentioned having Amaya program checked! I only got the upgrade last October that they sent out and did what they told me to load it in-I'm not PC savvy here...so if Amaya upgrade wasn't part of it then it isn't the same. Asked again where the 2005 upgrade is-got the 'pass the buck' line again-he's going to tell Bob Spear we should have it-Bob Spear said Mark is responsible...been playing this game for over a month... I'll have the system on again tomorrow-if you want to send me the info on what to check and what should match what I'll do it! Roland > From: "E.
