Aha, I have a WinXP 32bit PC upstairs. I will try to install it on that later. Not easy to lug to the car, but...

Sorry Geoff, I've tried all sorts, and can't find a way of getting the program to install on W7 64bit? Every time I try to install I get an error window stating 'Memory Access Violation'?

Nice one :wink:

No hurry for me though, as I said before I neither have a reader or car with open SID to have any benefit on my current situation, but I'm sure at least DeeDub will appreciate it right now?? :lol:
