I am now having the same message appear when using my other image software. I discovered that after removing the trial version of Xara from my system everything returned to normal.

After giving it more thought, I decided not to worry about the problem. At this point I figure I can do just as well with CS and PSP that I've using and can handle very well.

But I wanted to give XARA a try anyway and perhaps eventually purchase when I became more familiar with its capabilities. But apparently my system would not handle it for some reason and still feel it was one of those local problems that happen only at certain times on certain computers.

I've been on the other side too hearing folks blame problems on software when I never had a bit of trouble. Now the shoe is on the other foot, but I won't complain.

Oh well, perhaps I've gained another wrinkle on my brain the past few days and that's well worth the time spent.

Thank you all,

John
