I've attached a copy of my path statement. I'll tell you that I also follow the 
generic install directions, my OS is also XP, the only thing I don't do is 
uninstall old levels. Possibly, the uninstall got carried away and deleted 
something you needed. You could try re-installing and see if that might clear 
up the problem.
I've see this with the fully functional allegro, and it always occurred when I 
had uninstalled a previous version.

Hello Sue,
When I type set in viewer...My menupath is set to look where it always 
has for Allegro. Note: it does not include free viewer menu in path. 
Wont this collide menus when opening the full Allegro?
set  menupath     = . C:/SPB_Data/pcbenv/menus 
N:/development/pe157/pcb/menus N:/PE157/spb157/share/pcb/text/cuimenus

Regards,
Mark
