Hi Gman,
Thanks so much for the help on this. Seems like Vista is about as intuitive
as leaping out of an airplane without a parachute. On my system I have to
go to the accessories folder to find the run command. Anyway I got the file
not found error so I will go hunt down Indeo company after dinner.
Thanks again for getting me on the right trail on this. Seems like all the
time I gain on greater speed is lost several times over on troubleshooting.
Warren
