If you're not familiar with it, RIGHT-click on the application icon, select Properties, and go to the Compatibility tab. This works with installers also. If you have Windows XP SP2 or newer, or Windows Vista or Windows 7, you might need to disable UAC first. --Scott. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
