Thanks for the quick reply.  I have obtained a Borland C++ version 4.5 disk and have tried to install it but have encountered some errors.  The message "Unable to open destinationn file C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CTL3D32.DLL for writing" is my current one.  Should I obtain a copy of this dll from somewhere or attempt an alternate way of installing?

Thanks,
Bo
