Well, I'm pretty sure that neither wish85 nor Pd will run without at least the dlls shipped in pd/bin. I'm at a loss to figure out for sure what other DLLs must be present as well. It looks like I'd better install a pristine Windows XP myself - I've asked at school if they have one handy, otherwise I'll run out and buy one somewhere - ugh!
