There are issues with the Resource file viewer and Vista, I found this on a Google Search, might be worth giving it a try If your computer is running Windows Vista and you are trying to use the Resource File Viewer: 1. Install the Resource File Viewer 4.0 2. Right-Click on the Resource File Viewer icon on your desktop and select Properties. 3. Click the Compatibility Tab 4. Put a check in the box to run in compatibility mode for: and make sure that Windows XP (Service Pack 2) is selected. 5. Put a check in the box to "Run this program as an administrator" 6. Click OK From this original link... http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/index.cfm?action=showthread&threadid=284116&forumid=23 Good luck Vanessa    All records are subject to error.
