Seems you may have been lucky to get output at all considering an experience I had with Win2K Pro. . .

My notebook is set up with 2 printers, both through the network (and no other). I started a new contract a coupla days ago and needed Word2000, which I had just installed at home on the weekend.
When I brought it up (Word2000) at the client's office I got an error on startup. After a bit of fiddling I decided to use Word97. Same thing! So I resorted to WordPad. Same thing!
Since it offered me the opportunity to debug, I finally took it. A module named "HPxxxxxxxx" was raising an error accessing location 0. "HO" says I to myself sound like a printer problem. Went to printers and of course neither was available. I couldn't remove the "use as default" for reasons unknown. I thought that installing a local printer might get me out of the dilemma. Did so and was able to set it to default.
Started Word2000 and all was fine.

!@#@!$#@! Do I love MS or what!

>>I have no printer set on the Win2k box. I will try to set a printer and see if that fixes the problem.
