I haven't got this particular software but I find that a lot of stuff will run under WindowsXP if you find where the .exe has been installed on your PC and change the properties for it ( right-click for the menu ) and set it to run in Win95 compatability mode. -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) |

AFAIK he uses a Mac (or at least has been featured on TV proggies with one) and uses somthing that looks like CADintosh, or similiar // Jim |

Hi,
Thank you for the replies. From your answers and my experience--I think I shall just use it with my old Windows 98 machine--slow but reliable. "pronoun" wrote in message ...
