If you did, and have already purchased it, did you try the XP Home Edition Program Compatibility Wizard? Might want to check it out and see if it will run properly under other older Windows versions in XP. Check it out. I haven't bought it (Pbooost)yet because I flunked the test :-( or I would have. The Libraries are driving me NUTS!! _________________________________________________ To run the Program Compatibility Wizard In XP Home Edition Start the Program Compatibility Wizard. (Click Start, click Help and Support, click Fixing a problem, click Application and software problems, under Fix a problem click Getting older programs to run on Windows XP, and then click the Program Compatibility Wizard link in the instructions.) Follow the instructions in the wizard. The wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Windows 95, set the Compatibility Mode to Windows 95 (many others), as shown in Figure 2 below (a pic of a button saying Runs in Win 95), and try running your program again. The wizard also allows you to try different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels. The wizard will launch your program with the selected settings, and allow you to test how the program works. The final page of the wizard enables you to select whether to permanently apply the compatibility settings, abandon the changes, or save them and run the wizard again to apply different settings. It is likely that you will need to repeat this process until you find the correct Compatibility Mode. Has anyone tried this????
