I don't have WinME so it's hard for me to test things. If you want you can try two test scripts I made. They contain only very basic things and don't do anything useful, but it would help to rule a few things out.
It's now 12:00 midnight in London UK - I've been at this screen for nearly 14 hours today. I'm off to bed now. I'll see if I can test your scripts early in the morning.
But tonite I'm at the National Film Theatre Bar with maybe a small but a select band of SoFO Users - We meet at 6:30pm. The Budvar will be chilled - mmmmmmhhh - yes please!
