Both are on XP Home, are stable and AFAIK virus free. Any further help appreciated. Martin

Are you selecting Save (rather than Run) when the download message pops up? That's what I usually do, and then I run it from my desktop or wherever it is i've saved it to. All I can say is it works fine on both of my Vista machines and I'm fairly sure that the same download also instaleed and worked fine when I had XP. I don't currently have XP installed on any machine so i can't test that at the moment. Have you got the VB5 runtime and associated files installed by the way, which the APIGuide requires? Or perhaps you have a version of the VB5 runtime that APIGuide does not like? There is a link to the required VB5 runtime on the same page as the APIGuide download link. Have you tried downloading and installing that before downloading and installing the APIGuide itself? Mike

The problem remains :-) I'm trying a working around Martin

Yes, downloaded and installed the VB5 run time from the page but still the same prob but my workaround looks as if it is going to work. [OT. Mike, would you care to e-mail me?] Martin |
