<DIV>John,</DIV>
<DIV>Try creating a shortcut to the grads executable and put it on your desktop. Launch the app from there.</DIV>
<DIV>Target: "C:\XXXXXX\PCGrADS\win32e\Grads.exe"</DIV>
<DIV>Start in: "C:\XXXX\PCGrADS\win32e\"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had the same problme in Win XP and then once I got a shortcut set up the window 'stuck'.</DIV>
<DIV>The other option is to run it in batch mode. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also create an empty tmp directory at the root of your C drive: C:\tmp</DIV>
