I'm not sure what the problem is. The user claims he has the newer one in his system folder but that there is some sort of problem with the registry not being able to have them both? As far as I can tell, the registry only has a path to the file, no keys or anything like that. So if he has the newer one, (same as mine) there should be no problem (if he has rebooted). Thanks for your info, Bruce, and MANY MANY thanks to Microsoft for creating these kinds of nightmares!
