  Hi Trev.  I've just read your bul and here are my experiences. I do run
  Winpack,  regularly, on Windows XP Pro and must admit when it was first
  installed  it had a couple of problems that,  with the help  of  Geoff,
  G7SRI, were soon resolved. I have not had a problem now for ages.

  I  did try Winpack on Vista but had loads of problems so I took it  out
  again.   Now, I have recently installed it again from the correct  self
  extracting program,   then I copied my running copy of Winpack to a pen
  drive,   copied it from the pen drive to the newly installed Winpack on
  Vista.  A bit long winded I know. But it appears to work perfectly, and
  saves setting everything up from scratch.

  I  also have on both machines in the C:  root a file called Winpack.Loc
  and in it two lines thus:

  C:\Winpack\
  D:\Winpack\Pub\ for XP and,


  C:\Winpack\
  C:\Winpack\Pub\ for Vista.

  (I  think that is just to tell the PC where  my  public  folders  are.)
  Don't forget the back slash at the end of the lines of text.

  Next  I have a DOS folder,   if there  isn't  one  make  one.    In  it
  put a file named Winplog.Cfg and in it goes the line,

  c:\winpack\text\autolog.txt

  I have that because I use that facility of Winpack.

  I also have an Autoexec.Bat file and in it is the line;

  Set ExternPath=c:\winpack\Extern (I think this is for External addons?)

  Using  those I've not had any problems of late.   I've used Winpack set
  to run  in Win98 compatibility mode and used it without  setting     it
  to compatibility  mode,  on  both  machines,  and  not  noticed  a  tad
  of  difference   in the running of the program.      I do hope that  is
  of some help Trev. My regards and....
