Aubrey,
Hmm, not sure what you mean.
"c:", "d:", etc?
Why should that make a difference?
The packed exe file, I would think, would not have
those drive letters used internally. Or am I wrong here?
My exe program runs on his machine (brings up the outer
BlackBox window) but fails to find any menus and puts
up the default 'File' menu.
The same (I assume) exe running on my machine and my son's
finds the menus and displays them.
Is it possible that the 'loading' of resources, that process, is somehow
dependent on the precise configuration of the operating system
(Windows XP)?

Does he have the same drive letters online?

Hi folks,
I probably should not be taking up you time with this but I am
bollixed (stymied, hit a wall).
The EXE program I developed works just fine on my MacBook
(running Parallels Desktop) and also on a HP laptop. Both are
running Windows XP service pack 2.
But after emailing the file to my client he gets the message
"menu not found" when he runs the EXE on his laptop.
(we have checked the file sizes on his side and my side and
they are the same).
Now I know this message arises when all the necessary menus
have not been packed into the EXE BUT (and here is the frustrating
part) it runs on the HP laptop which does not have BlackBox installed.
Hence the menus MUST be in the EXE file and yet when run of the
clients machine they are not found.
He has said he is running Windows XP but I need to nail that down more
precisely. If that is really true then what in hack could differ
between the
different environments so that BlackBox's mechanism for finding files
within the EXE success in one environment but fails in another?
I have sent him 3 updates (versions). The first one worked for him but
the next two
failed in the same way.
Any suggestions, thoughts, or wild ideas are welcome.
