Hi Marshal,

No, I don't have ACDSEE installed. As for other graphics viewers, I have SnagIt and a couple of scan viewers/editors, but that's all that comes to mind.

It continues to amaze me just how so many components related only by their existence on a system can affect other components.

Thanks for the feedback.

Jim

>>>I've just installed VFP7 from the MSDN DVD on a Win 98SE machine. Installed fine except the Start, Programs Shortcut for VFP7 (which is supposed to utilize the new Windows Installer technology) doesn't work (nothing happens). Can't even get a right-click properties dialog.
