Hello Scott. I don't understand the bug. Your sounds is like - "my Macintosh running VNC, but other Kaboodle don't know that" or, - "my Macintosh running Kaboodle, ...". May be you install some kind of OS Windows emulator on Macintosh? Please send me: - LAN configuration, including type of computer and type of OS, - description what computers running Kaboodle, - your screen shot (the image that you see); - description what you _must_ see on the screen; - Igor
