Drag and View and xp

[Gordon Abbot]

I recently shifted to xp from win 98se (and MS Office) and installed
Drag and View 4.0 (which I had with 98se). Also shifted from MS Office
to open office on a clean install, so there are no MSOffice program
files (word, excel etc.). I imported the .doc, .xls files from my old
disk to use with open office.

Drag and View is used to open files, like doc, txt, jpg, and view them
without having to open the native application. It is great for things
sent to the desktop for further delivery by email. Sorts them out
without having to open the application. Been using it since win 3.0.

I am also working with Canyon Software to solve this, but so far,
nothing has worked, so like Princess Lea, you're my only hope.

I get an error when I try Drag and View, that C;Documents and
settings\Gordon Abbot...(there is a small box is right after Abbot) has an
"invalid path", and hangs up, and I have to get rid of it with task
manager.

Canyon Software has had me delete the registry entry for Drag and View,
but that only resulted in just the error message coming up and no Drag
and View box.

If anyone uses the program or has any ideas, any help appreciated. I
love Drag and View and would hate to lose it.

Gordon,
Of all this that you wrote, the most important part is where you decided to
be, what, shy? See, the history of Drag and View will not help us help you;
the EXACT problem, however, would be great, though. Being that the error
here is a message concerning the path, having correctly typed it would help.

"I recently shifted to xp from win 98se and installed Drag and View 4.0

Abbot...(there is a small box is right after Abbot) has an "invalid path",
and hangs up, and I have to get rid of it with task manager."

"C;Documents and settings\Gordon Abbot...(there is a small box is right
after Abbot)"
seems to have errors which I do not know if they are your typos or if the
path actually appears as such. It probably should read:

C:\Documents and Settings\Gordon Abbot

What EXACTLY follows after Abbot, including spaces, boxes, periods, etc.?

By the way, have you tried to uninstall >> reinstall?

I just got it to work yesterday, thanks to Canyon Software. They sent a
new DVShell.dll file. Somehow the old one was redirecting DV so it did
not work.

Nice to have a company stand behind their product, even after six years!

Thanks,
