Yes I was able to see the cube. In my earlier post I said that Navigator was not supported, I was in error. So I tried to instill the Metastream 3.0 plugin for navigator and was successful. I cant find where it is embedded for IE5, but the plugin for Netscape is called Mime Type application/x-mtx Description MetaStream Plugin File Suffixes Mtx If you type about:plugins in the URL field of navigator you can see what plugins you have. I went to http://www.metastream.com/download.html then followed the link Download the MTS3 partner release: A little Java app launches asking to install the software. Then a dire warning pops up about installing software, I clicked yes anyway. A dos window popped up and installed the plugin. A Netscape window then popped up asking if I wanted more information about plugins. I closed that and went back to the demo page and successfully viewed the Demos. After my earlier post I remembered something that happened when I first installed Metastream 3.0 that seemed a little funky. The first time I clicked on a demo I got a pop up window asking to install a Windows component off my D: drive. If this happens to you, click the triangle by the drive name and chose install from Internet. I hope this helps, I know how frustrating it can be when you want to do something and the technology fails. Let me know how it goes bob
