you know...I'm not sure which version I'm running...been thinking about upgrading to 2000, but I'm not sure how my art programs will handle that, and not sure how my games will handle it either... Any way to be absolutelly sure? Properties on my computer just say windows 98, no se mentioned there...I'll have to dig up my cd to find out what it says...thats another thing, I burn these cds, and then hide them as well as my origionals from myself, so although I have multiple copies of everything I can never find what I'm looking for...sigh I downloaded the demo several times and tried to reinstall it thinking I may have gotten a bad download or something, but nada...just doesnt open up for me...least not to where I can use it...it is running in the background according to the little window you get when you do ctrl+alt+del
