Yes John. Under XP, installed as administrator and run as user.

That's not to say I am not experiencing some problems. But these so far 
have been limited to the inability to save settings and preferences 
(example: I can't turn off "tip of the day", I can't turn off the 
"welcome page", I can't alter the "auto save" interval, .......). But 
except for minor problems such as that, have been able to set up books, 
run a parallel of paper books YTD, produce and save the appropriate 
reports (and these get saved "as edited").

PS --- however it is "good" to hear that others are having "teething" 
problems with the Windows release. We haven't yet heard here from 
anybody who says "everything is working OK".
