Subject: Deep Junior 6 installation trouble

I think I did something wrong... because I haven't seen posts from other people
having problems with DJ6.  I did a custom install the first time and when the
choice for rebooting came, I selected "no", and tried to run the program anyway,
just because I am that kind of guy. <grin>  As I was warned, it didn't work, so
I rebooted, but I was surprised that it still didn't work.  Anwyay, I
uninstalled it, then re-installed it, selecting standard the second time around,
and this time I allowed the reboot. :)

When I try to run the program, I see a small picture of a red chess king, which
then changes to yellow, and then to green.  Next comes an error popup: "Engine:
unKnown error 1".  The interface loads, and I can play vs. the opening book, but
when it's time for the engine to start crunching the program stalls.  I can try
doing a few things, but eventually the application craters.

Any suggestions?  I'm running NT 4.0 Server on a dual PII-266, 128Mb RAM.  The
account used to install the program does have administrator access.  Just in
case it's important, on my computer NT's home dir is F:\WINNT; I don't actually
have a C: drive.  While I was trying to get things to work, the DJ6 CD-ROM was
in my J: drive, which is also the drive I installed the program from.
