- I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! YAY!!!!
- First, I want to thank everyone who send me ideas on solving this!
- I checked everything everyone sent me, and all the poking in the system
- led me to the system.ini file--which was loading an old serial.386 file..
- God knows why a psychological assesment program would need to load serial.386,
- but that was the problem. *shrug*
- Thanks again!
