I tried zapping the ~/.user.rdb file that it uses in between reinstalling as well, just in case.

I don't know anybody who's been able to get it to work, except for you. :-) I was toying with the idea of using the fax/email method of registering and typing in the codes, but I decided to have a look around first. I tried the example scripts, and a good number of them also had the same sort of runtime errors. About the only thing left I can think of is hardware/memory/cpu differences. I upgraded my motherboard (doubled ram to 128MB) and a 50% faster cpu (still a cyrix though. :-(..) and replaced the drives with a much faster set and still didn't get any joy. What I'm curious to know is, does it consistantly work for you when you reinstall it and reregister it?
