I suggested a new archived version because his might be corrupted and could be
the cause of a corrupted exe.  Of course you would delete the corrupted exe
first <G>

Yes, I have that.  Several of us have been subject to a corrupt config file

That will likely require more knowledge then a lot are capable of, including me
now.
