Hi Karl

Yes sounds like same problem to me.  Ray sent me over the CD recently.  I
followed the instructions and copied onto the hard drive.  Tried to open it
by clicking the Setup file.  It goes through three screens and then falls
over.  I get to the Screen Resolution box click ok and no morer.

I have an older monitor about 15" and when I try to change the resolution to
the recommended,  my system has a heart attack.  So I was wondering if I
really have to change this.  It is just too much trouble with rebooting the
system after it crashes going the change screen way.

I have been saving all the posts on the CD since it started and I will go
through them to see if any information is there that may help me.

But in the meantime can anyone help a poor old aussie boy to come to grips
with the 21st century technology.  Please forgive my lack of technical savvy
I cant even find the spell check button on explorer

PS I was going to sent Ray an email to see if he has any ideas but will try
here first.

Ray Hunnam
