Why should someone bother to get the .NET framework just to run an application? Better the programmer should have made a VC6 executable. There is an app available in her user group (they write there own tools to modify a game) and the primary question was WHY the author used .NET framework and inconvenience the rest of the group. So far the answer has been: because it's there. I'm not sure what your java comment provides but I'd say the best thing I've done with it is turn it and acviteX off on my browser. BK
