Thanks, Victor.

Moving csoundapi~.dll does get rid of the pd.dll warnings.

Also, getting rid of py.dll, _CsoundVST.dll and _loris.dll got rid of all
the Python23 warnings when I uninstalled Python23 from my XP system.

I should think that *all 4* dll's should go somewhere else so the user who
is not interested in these additions to Csound should not have to bother
with them.

It still eludes me as to why these popup messages do not occur on my WinME
installations, which also have the above dll's in the opcode directory. The
popup windows seem to be an XP phenomenon.

Also, I'd like to see installation/configuration info for XP added to the
manual; there is none. Specifically, how do you set PATH and environment
variables in XP; there is no longer an autoexec.bat in XP. (Thankfully, this
info is not required for basic configuration - though if you have UDO's
you'd run into an issue right away.)

Art,

To do this on XP, go to the Control Panel and click the System icon (in 
the Performance and Maintenance category).  Then go to the Advanced tab 
and click the Environment Variables button.
