Eric, Thank you for your reply. I followed everything in that tech note, including deleting 2 instances of nsbpictb.dll. I cleaned and fixed the registry, ran register.bat (already had done that) but nothing solved the problem. I have ordered the 8.0 upgrade so hopefully that one will not have that issue. I want to use it on my Vista since the text boxes disappeared from the other installation.
Now for the rest of the story. I don't know if you have heard or or used 'mojopac' (by RingCube). It is software that will allow you to install programs on flash drives, ipods, etc. and then run them on other computers without leaving a trace. They don't have a Vista version yet (except for a beta) so it only works on XP for now. Anyway, I used my laptop (the one with the nsb problem) to install the 6.5.3 version on one of my flash drives. Apparently it also got installed on my laptop in another folder with a new 'program files', windows and the whole works, the way it does on the flash drive. So...the program runs fine from that folder. I suspect that may be the cause for the 429 error but I will leave well enough alone and use it from there if I ever need it again. Incidentally, I suppose 3 years is a long time in the computer world but I am glad that other companies don't put their software to pasture that quickly. Have a great weekend.
