Hi Terry,
That's the problem then - like Sailwave, Windows thinks that folder does not
exist. Suggest you delete it (saving content first) and then recreate it by
hand and restore content. Try the command and sailwave again...
(Ditto Laura)

Subject: RE: [sailwave] Rating File FolderHi Colin,
I tried the command below twice and it does not appear to echo xxxx
**********start***************
Microsoft(R) Windows 98
(C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1999.C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>if exist "c:\program files\sailwave\ratings" echo
xxxxxC:\WINDOWS\Desktop>if exist "c:\program files\sailwave\ratings" echo
xxxxxC:\WINDOWS\Desktop>
************end ********************I then tried deleting the folder and recreating it, but still no
luck.I then tried installing 1.58trial, get the same message up as soon as
I click on the icon even before the program starts.Hope this helps. (not too serious though as at least the program
functions when I click Okay.Regards (and thank you for a wonderful product. You are doing a
fantastic job of it.)Terry
