 Thanks for the prompt reply. I've tried the complete
 deletion from the laptop. It did not work for me. The
 strange thing is that it works well on the desktop. I
 have the feeling that it may have something to do with
 the way laptops are configured. You do not say if you
 are using TAME 5.1, pre5 on a laptop or a desktop, or
 both.

 It is not a matter of re-booting, for once I get the NTVDM
 box, I can re-boot all I like. The box reappears after the
 fiddling, tweaking and re-booting.

 Thanks,

 M.W. Poirier
