Cure: run Rebel under W95/98 etc. 2) You haven't unzipped the archove well, make sure "use folder names" is active when extracting with Winzip. 3) Since you have copied to cdrom (all) the files contain the so-called "read-only" attribute. You will have to remove the read-only attribute. Good luck, Ed
