Thanks, Rance...but I have uninstalled from the Control Panel as well as through the Poser uninstall option. And trust me '-) I'm a veteran of having Runtimes all over the place...LOL...so that part of it wouldn't be an issue! BTW...I am now up to reinstall #6...gonna wear the installation disc out 'fore this thing gets remedied I'm afraid '-)! ==steve==
