-> Do you have these 3 files (fidomsg.wcx, pxsrv.dll, pxnl.dll) in your   
   -> WC5 root folder on BOTH PC's (W10 & XP-VM)?  also do you have px.ini in   
   -> WC5/PXDATA directory on both systems?   
      
   All of that was there, and it didn't work, so I lookd at px.ini and it   
   had drive designator so I removed the d: and left the rest of path   
   intact and that did it.   
      
   Without you cluing me in on the px.ini file I would probably not have   
   discovered that for a long time if ever.   
      
   So I did get it working
