Peter,
you certainly do know you stuff! Thanks much! Send me your postal
address and I will send you a complementary copy of the Euro Family
Album v.6.02 for all of us to benefit in case you do find the way to
print from it.

What I did:
1. Full HDD install on C:\
2. Copied the LEXHDL5.DLL from the directory epc_prog.w95 into the
epc_prog directory on my hard drive
overwriting the existing LEXHDL5.DLL.
DONE! It now even runs w/o the CD in the drive.

However I've done it on my wife's P2 Micron with the two IDE HDDs. The
same procedure had failed on my own P2 HP Kayak with 3 SCSI HDDs. At
some point half way thru the installation the computer hangs. I can't
even copy the contents of my wife's D:\ drive over to my E:\drive thru
the home network that I have set up with the WinXP network wizard.

Puzzled.
