Brilliant! amazing..... so simple. thanks, that worked

well, sony said to downgrade to 2.3, so i guess ill try that. it just buggs me how the program is so fickle. thanks for the help

Whenever i attempt to open Ss, it gets to the Initializing UI components stage and just stops. the program halfway opens and the menu bar flashes repededly. this also eats all my cpu. any thoughts on how to fix this? Im running XP home on a p4 viao notebook (ATI video card... so no NVIDEA drivers). it worked fine, then all the sudden it diddnt, i noticed that i was running sp2 and thought that mite have snuck in so i removed it and that diddnt help. i have downloded the MDAC repair tool, redownloaded my MDAC drivers, reinstalled them and nothing seems to help. any help would be greatly appreciated.
