Varian and Guitta,

Today, I installed the update. No good.
I blew dust out of the case, and ran Vue with the side off. It crashed 3 times within 3 or 4 manipulations within the program to a file.

When I placed the cd into the tray to see if there was an uninstall program on the cd (to pull of all traces that may be corrupted), it wouldn't even play the slideshow.exe file.

Uninstalled with add/remove again, rebooted,
shut down all the background progs, put in the cd and the slide show started. Installed Vue - rebooted - installed the patch for 4.03.
So far so good. No timeline yet either...(waiting...)
Hope this is the end of those problems.

Thanks for all your help,
Kev
