Very interesting.... in fact, that is the opposite of what I was expecting. Usually
when there is an error installing such as you got, it is because the person has
*not* logged in, but rather hit Cancel at the log-in, at least in Win9x.
I will have to ask around about what might have caused this reverse behaviour on
your system. I'm glad you got the program installed, though!
