That did the trick, Now to only get a license that works. I have one for a 30 
day trial for 3.0 but it does not work. I used to use VM until I found 
win4lin because VM was too hungry, and ran so slow, I'm hoping with FreeBSD 
it will run better since there is no win4lin(bsd) avail. But hate to spend 
$299 to find out it is too slow and won't run my app.
