Thanks for the kind initial run-throughs on the different systems.

You are quite correct. Having dependencies on some browser version were considered a set of headaches. Therefore, no browser is required or used. The HTML rendering in the showcase previews and editor dialog preview use a clean-room HTML canvas widget. An updated version with certain items compiled out is available, so see if the stop point at startup is at any of these. All of these items have been #ifdef'ed out of the compile [by setting the settings in CVS's setup.h from 1 to 0]: - Splashscreen - Startup tips - Internationalization - The syntax coloring widget (uses a regular edit control instead) - Drag and drop - Busy cursor - Online help - The Main Dialog > Advanced Shared Settings tab (will appear as just a empty panel/listbox). The test file is at: http://www.rob.md/projects/plucker/2002_03_22/plucker_desktop.zip Installation is the same as before, as Byron rightly mentioned. Also packaged in the zip is a debugging message logging program called DebugView (Dbgview.exe). Start DebugView and then startup Plucker Desktop. As the Plucker Desktop starts and runs, hidden debug messages are generated. DebugView will capture the hidden messages and then these can be saved to a file. If send back this log file of messages, that is the quickest way of finding where the error is. For XP, one can try it with and without the plucker-desktop.exe.manifest file (just rename it to something else to effectively remove it). The manifest file is the standard file that instructs the OS to use XP theming (no tested yet). Here are 4 screenshots of a December version, running fine under XP (screens were sent in by a kind chap from France), so any XP error must have been introduced from then to now: http://www.rob.md/projects/plucker/2001_12_02 Best wishes, Robert
