Oct 10, 2006 #6 bwhughey Electrical Oct 10, 2006 1 XROTOR works fine under WinXP. Maybe you should try START > RUN > "CMD" and execute from the command shell. Now, if someone would only write a decent man page for it, they'd really have something - I keep discovering new things about it all the time. Regards, Brad Upvote 0 Downvote
