| okay I tried to use SimPE but it won't work.& I uninstalled it & tried to download it again,it still won't work.Everytime I click it,a little box pops up saying,
"SimPE will shut down due to an unhandled exception.
Message:Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." |

| If you can click "get details" and pull the box open far enough to read it, that is the kind of information they need. Although there is nobody actively developing it right now, so you might be out of luck. |

| There's nowhere to click 'get details'. & the box can't be pulled bigger.That was the first thing I tried. |

| When you uninstalled, did you also remove the old folder? It needs a clean install. And if it's crashing when you click the shortcut, have you tried checking if the shortcut is pointing to the right place? |

| Ok... It says you have Vista. Are you running as an Administrator under an Administrator account? It needs both an Admisnistrator account and Administrator access. |

| If you don't use the shortcut, try right-cicking the .exe and running it with the command "run as "administrator." Sometimes Vista seems to think that running an exe that way was supposed to be a one time deal instead of always. (It's easier to tell if a shortcut has lost its privileges, because the shield goes away.) |

| Well, I'm not sure what else to try... I've hollered for help from Peter and Inge, so they should be able to spot whatever it is that i'm missing. |
