Have you tried running the program in say Windows 95/98 compatibility mode? Windows XP is Unix based, sharing the same platform with Windows NT. The earlier Windows are DOS based. Platform specific programs are not compatible with each other. Another reason could be due to a computer virus. You had no anti virus at least one has managed to call your hard disk 'home' Have a look at the two possibilities. all the best, rosdimy
