Thanks, Jacque, I just tried something else. I copied from the
Firewire drive to the startup drive rather than directly to VPC's
Shared Folder. It didn't solve the problem, but now I get a different
dialog that says "Can't open the file "its name.exe"; error was 0,0.
Maybe I'll try writing it to a CD and then trying to open the CD from
within VPC. I think you're probably right; that it is not a Rev
problem, but a Window's problem of some sort. Perhaps, it needs to be
installed and doesn't like merely having it shoved into a Shared
Folder, though I've done that with other Windows apps - I think. It's
been so very long since I've used one.
Sometimes life gets so complicated. Sigh!

Thanks for the info, Jacque. I didn't have a CD involved in any
way. I don't have my two computers networked (security - one for
the internet and the other for real work - smile), so I go between
them with a firewire hard drive that I can hot connect/disconnect.
But there may be something to what you've said and I'll have to
think over it. I'm running windows XP under Virtual PC 6, so I
don't know exactly how all of this is relevant. I've run a number
of programs, some from CDs too, without any problems in the past.
If/when I solve this I'll let everyone know the why and wherefore.
Not that I'm an expert in this stuff, by any means, but what I got
from the info was that Windows tries to read different drives in
different modes. If a driver isn't set to a compatible mode, you
will get an error and the read/write will fail. If you are using a
FireWire drive, the VPC default driver settings may not be set
right for that drive.
The easiest way around this would be to simply copy your standalone
to the actual hard drive image. Then you won't have to worry about
read/write driver mechanisms or make any Windows adjustments.
Basically, you aren't seeing a Rev problem but rather a Windows OS
read/write error due to incompatible driver settings.
