I don't think that I have a CD for 1.6.[123].  (^&

Just 1.6.  Since it's not gated directly to the Internet, and it's in
my home network where only I have access, I wasn't too concerned about
security fixes for it.

I dug up a 2.0 BETA CD from a few months ago and installed that.
All problems went away.  I'm a little leary of using 2.0, though.
I know that 1.6 was solid for the kind of thing that this machine
will be doing.  Oh well.


Thanks.
