Whoa Mike...I think ya better calm down. I didn't get that kind of inference from Tony at all. He said "no offence" didn't he. He's just saying "sh!t happens and sometimes it's beyond your control".
I'm not using XP but I can also say that I have yet to have a single install issue with MX (although I've seen alot of folks on this list that have). There are how many different settings on any given computer? how many apps that could be installed that could effect the install? Any 1 minor thing could potentially be the issue. Tony's not calling anyone stupid....neither am I...but I sure hate nasty people that slag others. It's only MOnday Mike...hang in there...lotsa days still to get through this week. Best of luck with your issues if you still have them. Wish I could help but I'm on Win2K Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
