Here is a quote I found on one posting. Maybe there is a Microsoft bug and updating your XP may help: I'm not sure if this has been posted, but it appears that many of the windows compatability problems (Clarion 5, etc.) has been resolved by MicroSoft. I installed Windows XP Application Compatability Update[Q31958] a couple of days ago and noticed almost immediately that c55 was operating much better. ------------------------------------------------ Mr. Ira J.
