The DocReader I run runs without problem; started using it with Win95b
and continue to use it on WinXP. I run with admin priviledges due to
laziness, but for the life of me I can not see why a user account
would cause it problems.

There should be a DocReader.INI file in the same directory as the
..EXE; rename the .INI file so DocReader.EXE won't locate it, and
launch the .EXE again. That might help. Otherwise, I would start
looking towards the DLLs that are installed on your systems, although
that's not a trivial task.

It is, as best I can remember. I copy the .EXE wherever I need it, and
run it from a number of SD cards without running an installation
program.
