Chuck I tred what you suggested - but it did not help Btw I am using IIS on Windows "Sounds similar to something I had going on. In Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services (I don't know of a shorter way to get there), I had to right-click on the Apache service and under Log On - check Allow service to interact with desktop. I run run Php as an Apache module, but you may want to give that a try."
