I read the other reply and I get it now. There is a guy who
hangs out here by the nym of Helpful Harry who knows just about
everything about PM. I am surprised he hasn't responded. He may
be on vacation or something.

Hee hee, well, I just meant why get 7 when AFAIK it did nothing
6.52 didn't - except run on XP?

Check back every couple of days to see if HH has surfaced. He is
almost certain to have the solution. Have you tried the Adobe
website forums?
