Hi there! The games are free, speech friendly and written by Jim Kitchen. I've had a lot of fun playing them lately. You can go to kitchensinc.com and check them out. Incidentally, i just tried a system restore, for the first time ever, and it didn't resolve the issue. Sometimes I think my computer hates me. (smile) Anyway, I'm afraid to do too much tampering because I don't want to run the risk of doing something that might cause JFW to stop working. Missy
