OK, I am sure that you will get it sorted with Peter's advice. Especially as he can compare to a working system. If you look at the batch file in a PC editor then you can see what it is trying to achieve. uqlx has to work through an X-Window, so that it what is set up first, then Q-Emulator is loaded on that. This is certainly no problem on WIN98, I haven't tried it with Windows XP. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
