>>I have an old Toshiba P90 that I've wanted to do something like >>this with but didn't think it would work. If you decide to share >>your code I'd love to have a copy.So far I've only been running it from the Visual Basic development environment. I'll get it compiled and will post it to the file library. For now, you will need to have a registered copy of FSUIPC running on the host computer if you want to use a non-3d video card single computer set-up, and a registered (or older pre-payware version)of WideFS if you want to run it on your laptop, because I haven't gotten a freeware key from Pete Dowson for it yet. I will however ask for one, and will code it it into the app.Richard

eek...forgot about that moving map! Harder than I thought.Well..will have to see how I can fool the laptop into believing it is a P4 2.4Ghz!Thanks

Just an update - I've got the panel working perfectly as long as I run it from the development environment, but when I compile it as an .EXE and run it, it is crashing :-(I will get it debugged and will then post it to the file library.Richard

Great! anxiously awaiting the file. I have a laptop begging for this application. By the way, I'm a VB programmer (VB6, not the .Net stuff) so if you need a hand, let me know. Dan
