Thanks tdierikx
yes I am running windows ME
I know, I need a new computer
just so many other priorities 
when it comes to spending money right now

I tried setting the multithreading to off
NO LUCK
I have no idea how to clean apo out of the windows registry
I did run a registry cleaner though.

I guess I'm just going to play with 2.02 for awhile
and hope the next beta works for me
I'm so disappointed, I loved some of those beta features
Thanks for trying to help me!
