Hi Kelly,
thanks for your assistance. But this does not solve my situation - or
I am missing something

I am not using SUF - don't even know what it is.
At any rate as I mention before, I have looked at the process with
procmon.exe and as far as I can tell, all dependancies are there and
in the correct order. Also, since I get no return message (either good
or bad) I haven't got an error code to pass on or check. It just enters
the twilight zone and disappears. I am hoping not to have to re-install
XP plus the zillion other applications that I have, but am coming down
to the wire.
Any more ideas?
Thanks for your time!
Howard
