I forget the details (I'm on NT) - something like go into the control panel and right click on the printer you use, then look for the details page that has some button you can click to capture a printer port.   If you're on ME, someone else on this list can tell you what to do.   Best regards, Paul Ravina -----Original Message----- From: Janet Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 1:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: can't print Upgraded from 4.0 to 5.5DOS and when the command to print is given the program locks up. Can't even print to screen - program freezes. The rest of the program seems to work fine, just can't print anything. Have tried changing the memory settings, but it does not seem to make a difference.   Solutions? Suggestions?   tia   Janet
