Ed -

I had problems with Easy 5.0 at first also. I uninstalled, reinstalled the
5.0, rebooted, ran the XP upgrade patch "XP_up_ Platinum" (downloaded from
their site), rebooted and all was fine. Note - do NOT try to run the
program on an XP machine until you have run the patch. If you download and
install any of their updates you must re-run the patch program.

Runs great now.
