TJ,
Thanks for the help! Problem solved. It was operator error,, as is usual in these cases. a) the CMAE dll was there b) it was loaded c) the progress window showed Engine cmae. The problem was that I had All symbols selected instead of current symbol. Makes a big difference in time required. Btw, I am pleased with the Vista performance so far. Plan to turn off UAC to avoid the nagging. I believe it is time to switch over to Vista from XP. Thanks again for your help.

I am only using CMAE in my code. I am not using Fred's IO at all.. I don't even have Fred's IO on my computer. I was using the term IO to indicate the function of the built in CMAE engine which is called with: OptimizerSetEngine( "cmae" ); in the first line of code. But the problem is that the CMAE engine runs like gangbusters using XP but the CMAE engine in my installation does not run on Vista. And that is using identical AB code in each case, and the identical AB 5.18.0. So where is the culprit?

Not both. Never ever mix them or you will end up with totally unreliable results. It's like trying to mount eight wheels to bicycle each going into different direction.
