I am terribly sorry i have sort of misled in my earlier post " I suggest you visit the following website (they seem to be the producers of vorton financial powertools) and click help/customer support and see if you can resolve your problem. from the site i find that the software IS compatible with win 98 and also xp and so they should be able to guide you. http://www.nothingbutsoftware.com/catalog_type.asp?ProductCode=32458 good luck and God bless---venkat viswanathan " the above is only an online store selling vorton financial power tools and NOT the "producers" as stated by me. but i have been able to get some contact info and giving the same below vorton technologies (613) 721-1107 e-mail [log in to unmask] url-www.vorton.com the url however opens up some sort of music web site! and nothing pertaining to financial power tools. there is an article on this program at the following web site in case you are interested. http://www.monitor.ca/monitor/issues/vol5iss2/feature3.html. my apologies and perhaps an e-mail to them will help. venkat viswanathan Do you want to signoff PCSOFT or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcsoft.shtml
