Dunno your previous setup configuration, but your username contains an extended accented character which will make the life of any non- unicode application hard. To workaround this I suggest you set HOME environment variable to something different than Documents and Settings, since will have the same problem. Also, do not mess with USERPROFILE since ti serve other purpose beside being used by applications, USERPROFILE is the place Windows stored the ntuser part of registry, which I suggest you stay away from it :-) HTH, -- Luis Lavena
