I guess I don't fully understand what is going on, but certainly some changes have occurred with the two, linux16 & linux. Will linux work again in the future or is that reserved for 64 bit or above? I mean linux works, but just blocks the splash screen. Is it a matter of the splash screen setup needing a change? See, I think I'm confusing things because I don't understand what's going on with all that. Anyway thanks, Pat
