Thanks **electronicpakrat.
 I did download it and activate it on an older xp machine.  Then I burned the it to a CD and installed that on my regular PC.  It works, but it has some rather strange behavior.  First it seems to freeze windows in that the start menu and the task bar cannot be accessed when it's running.  I can use the task manager to get at these things but I've never had to resort to that much.   Also I've not found a way to exit either short of forcing a shutdown.  I think maybe too much time has gone by since I used Bryce 3D and switched to Vue.  I still want to use it to maybe export some  Bryce objects to Carrara which is my main graphics program.
