Everything has failed. This one is hard to understand. I install software
regularly (including VB.net and DevStudio, etc.) and have never had any
problems.
I'm going to have to look elsewhere, which will be tough. I know I don't
want Quicken, and there just isn't much else out there to choose from.
Thanks for your help, Cal.
