Mike,

My desktop is Win XP Professional, version 2002, SP3. Processor: AMD Athlon 
XP 1600+, 1.4GHz with 480 MB RAM.

My laptop is running the same Windows - except it's the Home Edition, but 
with a different processor: AMD Turion64 Mobile, ML-30, 1.59GHz with 896 MB 
RAM. I just installed the very latest 5.09.1 on it, and it exhibits largely 
the same issue: it gives WARNINGs about not loading 4 .dll's from the 
plugins directory, again including rtpa.dll (my culprit).

Are we perhaps talking about some AMD incompatibility here?

Tomorrow I'll download and run in 'depends' and give a report. (I'm not sure 
what "running in 'depends'" means, but I gather there will be instructions 
available.)

Thanks for all your help.

Art Hunkins
