Hi, Nick. Well, as I've mentioned in previous msgs, I don't get *any* error or warning messages during the install. First time installation died towards the end, recent efforts at reinstalling die right at the beginning (the temporary directory is created, ~MSSTFTQ.T?, something like that, and the files it gets are copied, and that's it. Dead machine, blue screen. "conflict between CD drivers …" begs the question in my mind, and puts me in rant mode again. Either the applications need ONLY their own Windows, VFW, QuickTime, Indeo, etc. files, or the setup/install procedure can't deal with previous versions of Windows/video/sound (or newer ones!), well, neither of these things should kill a machine, or not be dealt with by _intelligent_ applications and their intallers, I think. In re the CD ROM, yes, it had some greasy thump-print smear-looking things on it, and there was even some particulate matter in the disk envelope. I carefully cleaned and dusted, etc. BUT, keep in mind that the install almost went to termination the first time! AS much as I'd like to blame the CD ROM too, I just have a feeling it isn't the case this time. I could be wrong. Nick, in regards to a request I made to your tech support, could I have a file giving what a complete, fresh install of Simply3D looks like? Directory structure and what files go where, etc.? Thanks in advance for any help. (Love Visual Font, btw! Makes the whole package for me).
