I did manage to get the pocket pc version to work, very interesting. We just got a report today from another user with an identical graphics controller who is also running Windows ME. We are looking into the problem and will hopefully have a solution soon. This graphics controller also gave us headaches with CM9000 -- I would suggest upgrading! :-) As for the second problem (incessant scrolling text), nobody else has reported this. Do these other machines also have the same video card as the first system you listed? If not, what do they have and how much video RAM do they have? jm
