I installed Street Atlas USA this weekend, and I don't think it installed correctly. For one thing, there was no "Delorme XMap" (or similar) Program Mgr group created, as the "troubleshooting" leaflet suggested there would be. I found 2 .exe files in my c:\atlas directory, so I figured one of those would run the program. (I might not get these names right since I'm at work and the program's at home) The first one I tried was somehting like maps1.exe. That started the program, but no data vcould be found. Then I tried ???dlg.exe, which didn't seem to do anything. BUT, when I ran map?.exe after running ???dlg.exe, the program ran perfectly. This is a very roundabout way of asking if someone who has Street Atlas installed could tell me what the properties of your Street Atlas icon are, particularly the executable file and any parameters. Delorme's tech support hours are my work hours, so I thought I might get quicker help here! (I'm going to install Global Explorer tonight, so maybe that will give me a hint also. Thanks in advance for any help. Evan

Hi, Jim. Thanks for your response. Last night, when I just double-clicked on MAPS1.EXE in my file list window (without running gazdlg.exe first) , Street Atlas started and ran just fine! So I dragged the file over to a program group, and started exploring the country! Thanks again. Evan
