If this were the reason, you wouldn't have posted two TSRs on your page to make CST work properly on some computers. Case in point: CST not running properly with ATI video boards. I tried with the ATI's TSR and Univesa TSR, both downloadable from your home page as a solution for loading CST. No use. It doesn't work either on my HP with a Chips and Technologies video board. These video problems wouldn't happen with a Windows program. Enrique >Chris Whittington > >> >>Enrique
