'Morning Spectre . . . 8^) I don't know anything about Win XP, I'm still using Win 98SE. The only thing I can think of is, when you did your upgrade to XP, did you do a fresh install? Meaning, did you do an "F-Disk" & a format, then install your new operating system? The reason I'm asking is, I know it's a whole lot of work, but I have several friends that just did the upgrade by installing their new operating system, ( over top of ), their old operating system. They had nothing but problems with a lot of the software they had on their systems. So, they went the hard way & did an "F-Disk", formatted the hard drive, then installed all their software. That created a fresh environment to work with & 99% of their software worked great. Other than that, I don't know of what else might be causing your problem. I'm just offering a suggestion, don't know if it will correct the problem or not, but I hope you get it solved soon & you have a good one . . . Mark. ;^)
