well, I tried again...and as far as I can tell, it never quite finishes installing!.....the amber light that says the PC is 'working' flickers continuously...and I get the 'agree to legal stuff' dialogue several times...I do NOT have IE5 installed, and VERY seldom open IE4....if it expects me to get IE5 in order to run PalTalk, it can install forever! I am looking thru newsgroup postings to find some information, but nothing yet...

If Micro$oft is behind this, I am pissed!
