I Cross posted you guys.... Thanks Dustrider. I'll try that. The E drive is a Maxtor and came with a software help application which also told me to format the hard drive. I'll try your suggestion first. Joffry, I reinstalled P6 onto my C drive and it works fine. I added the P5 runtime (from the E drive) to P6 again and it locks up trying to open it. Unfortunately, my C drive is only 40 gigs which wouldn't hold my P5 battleship - lotza luv. I'm using a Hewlett Packard PC with Home XP I'll give your guys advice a try. Thanks a lot for the help!
