So I guess one of those should work? But you didn't follow the link to see if a 64 bit version was available. It is not. This is the same page I found and at the top it says, System Tip This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows 8 Solution Center Oddly enough they have a windows 8 download link, but not 64 bit which is what I need even though the "system tip" fails to explain that. Elsewhere there are instructions for installing the 32 bit executable under the 64 bit OS. I'll give that a try when I get a chance. Thanks anyway. -- Rick
