my dde is checked also, when I was going thru the steps I unchecked and it worked so I added that step.

One problem I've noticed is that my "Use DDE" switch will not remain
unchecked. I turn it off and but it keeps turning itself back on.

What version of XP are you using and Are you running any with service packs
installed?

Bob, to get rid of your diagnostic message try fully defining the path to
the font file in your ffm.ini file.

For example:

fnt=..\SHARED\FONTS\DFONT.SH2

Change to:

fnt=C:\Sm9\SHARED\FONTS\DFONT.SH2

yes fred, I have this working.
you have to go thru the "explorer/ folder options" route.
open explorer, then folder options
then file types
new
enter PM4 in the extension box, then "OK"
you're now back to the folder options box, highlite the pm4 extension you
just added
in the lower portion of panel, click on advanced button, you'r now in edit
file type panel
click "new"
action is "open", type this in the empty box
application used to perform action is ""C:\SM11\SYSTEM\ffm.exe"  %1" (edit
your path, and note dbl quotes in string)
from an earlier post you need the %1 in there
un-check "use dde"
ok to all and get out
this works for me with "one" error

no matter what, when i start this way, my diagnostics panel pops up saying
it can't find my dfont.sh2 file.

bob
