Hello Alan, > DependencyWalker (http://www.dependencywalker.com) shows that the That's a nice tool ! > required modules on XP for clustalw are kernel32.dll, msvcr80.dll, > msvcrt.dll and ntdll.dll.

It was the missing msvcr80.dll. I have the older version msvcr70.dll. The only idea I have why there was no "dll not found" error is, that windows tries to fix the missing dll by falling back to the older version and clustalw then runs into trouble ? > > Btw.

But I tried to reproduce this situation on another machine and the emboss dir was correctly appended there to the system Path. Curious.
