Hi Guys, Well I did have a hard drive failure a couple of months back. I thought I'd checked everything with the new drive but I guess I didn't notice this current problem. It turns out that the problem is a corrupted C:\Windows\DXBase2005.ini file. I want to know exactly what the problem was so after reinstalling I tackled it piece by piece until the problem re-occurred. When I put back the original C:\Windows\DXBase2005.ini file whammo the problem was back. Put back the new install DXBase2005.ini file and problem solved again.
Jack, Joe is a great help on this kind of stuff. He goes way out of his way.
