Hi Graham,
Tried deleting the file but no change. Started looking through all the
regedit, and decided there was a dat file created using MMaker, and renamed
it. Hey presto it opened correctly. File name was MEDIATAB0.DAT found in
the Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\ folder under user name.
Thanks for your help anyway.
