Pretty sure you can still download        JD> Rex from various sources, and get an exe that is not corrupt.              or just delete the existing one and pull a new copy out of the original       archive... back in the early 90s, some of us saw problems with trying to       overwrite corrupted executables with a new copy... no clue as to why but       deleting the original and then replacing it with a new copy worked every       time...              it is also possible that the config is corrupted... IIRC, some folks maintain       a backup copy of the config so they can replace it when they have problems       from it becoming corrupted...              if all else fails, one might also use a binary editor on the config and change       the necessary item to the desired value... of course, this will only work if       one knows where the value is in the binary config, knows what the desired       value should be and the system doesn't calculate some sort of checksum to       ensure the config is not altered outside of the config program...              )\/(ark              One of the great tragedies of life is the murder of a beautiful theory by a       gang of brutal facts. --Benjamin Franklin              --- FMail/Win32 1.60        * Origin: (1:3634/12.71)    |
