I *think* you are suggesting what I already did. A clean install of 0.9.57 and then a TS install. At that point running TS itself hangs or exhibits other problems. I didn't feel driven to go further. If the install doesn't work then for a program as big and complicated as TS there are likely to be too many other problems so I'll likely jsut file the install bug and see what comes from that. Thanks very much for your ideas. I do appreciate the inputs. Cheers, Mark
