Where to start?

[T & K]

Hi

Thanks for the information and advice

I tried  version 2.2.9 selecting the file ending exe from the list on the 
SourceForge website but there was a compatibility problem. I could not open 
an account in a new window unless I clicked on the window resize icon twice.

As an experiment I have removed the version 2.2.9 and tried an earlier 
version. I have installed version 2.3.3  I have had to set it's 
compatibility to "XP SP2" in the files property box and it appears to work 
ok

Is there something else that is recommended I should do or trial?

All help is appreciated

Teka
