- Please explain what happened to your computer and what the fix was.
- Frankly I don't understand what could go wrong to the hardware as
- opposed to the software? In any case, how did they fix the problem?

-
- The new and the old version may have different settings in the .ini
- file. They both might put dll's into the windows directory under
- the same name but with different features, and problems of this
- nature.
-
- I would be most interested as I said in an elaboration of the
- problem you ran into.
-
- Thank you.
