I tried that site and downloaded the program, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I tried looking at the "unprotect" and it makes absolutely no sense to me at all. It probably works if you know how to use it. I have searched for a working Sargon III for the PC for quite some time now. I can't believe how hard it is to find. I DID have it, but as I said in a previous post I accidently deleted it and haven't seen it for the PC since (2 years at least) Thanks for the reply though. One of these days I'll hopefully come across this again. Regards, Jeff
