Paul The problems have revolved around installing GnuGk as a service on Vista everything else should run fine. Note the GnuGk version on PacPhone website is not official and should be classed as experimental. It is a compilation of the P2Pnat branch (which will be merged back to CVS head after the v2.2.7 release). It has limited database functionality with no postgres or mysql support.
