If the earlier change to the writelog.ini file didn't solve the problem,,,
then make sure that you don't have a program called "FINDFAST.EXE" running
in the background . I think but am not sure that this is the a WIN98
equivalent to an old DOS TSR which is loaded in the background. I suspect
that either MS WORD or MS OFFICE SUITE installs this little port hog
without asking during installation. Go to FIND FILES and look for it and
rename it.

PS: Was thinking of you the other day when I was standing thigh deep in a
little trout stream up here playing "tug-of-war" with a 16 inch brown
trout 8^)
