    Howard,

    Finally getting a chance to reply. Thanks for the
    suggestion. However, it doesn't work in my situation. The
    problem I have is that I can't get to the VPC toolbar.
    Once XP has gotten to the Windows logo during startup, I
    can no longer move my mouse outside the Windows "frame"
    (not sure what to call it). So I can't move my mouse to
    the VPC toolbar, menu bar, or anything else.

    I'm wondering if I should delete VPC and try it again?
