Richard and Marilyn, Try the simpler procedure, as given in my lastest message to Laverne. I know it seems too easy to work, but it does! The process takes about 5 minutes and there is no need to uninstall or reinstall PAF. Just copy the installed PAF5 folder from a computer that has PAF5 installed. And copy data files as well, so PAF has something to work on. Then try running PAF from the flashdrive on a computer that doesn't have PAF installed. It works! The computer should be running Windows2000 or newer (otherwise the required USB drivers may not be there).
