I downloaded a later version of CW.dll but I got the same error message. I tried to run CM2000 but it corrupted the display on my LCD monitor. I don't suppose John Merlino will be able to help here because the versions are so old. If I find time later on I may try replacing files associated with cw.dll with more modern versions . I'll repost if I have anything else to report. A pity really because the graphics of CM4000 are still acceptable (to me).
