	Have you gone into serial networks and defined your network(s) (adapters)? You need to be sure this has been accomplished in both programs. Tom

	A little elf told me to mention trying COM4 instead of COM3 and to make certain the "light bulb" icon is clicked. As Windoze controls the COM settings, it can also arbitrarily assign certain COMs to different apps. Man, I miss DOS.... Edited by LightChristmas - 06 Dec 2009 at 8:12pm

	Hoo boy.... Think its best to start from square one, here. Uninstall whatever version you're using. Reboot. Install 1.0.41. Reboot. Try running. If all works fine there (with exception of external video), then Uninstall, reboot, and install 1.0.69. Reboot.

	It is best to backup all sequences and delete all the directories created during an install. This gets rid of any possible files causing any problems.
