Why doesn't DC Show work on my hard disk. (This includes DCShowpic, DCShowArc) If called by pressing the function keys, they all work OK, but if I double click on for example, a text file, an arc file, or a picture file then it zooms the icon out then just sits there, no text display , and locks up the desktop. I have installed them according to the manual, and use DCConfig etc. My set up is as follows: 1040 STF with 45MByte TCT hard disk drive. The harddisk drive uses the ICD drivers. I had no other TSR running at the time. Please help me, as DCDesktop is a great product, and if I'm doing something stpuid I'd like to know. Thanks in advance, -- Jason J.E. not J.F.

Sounds to me like you have a line in your desktop.inf file that causes a program to be run to view the file you are double clicking. When you double click on a non-program file, you should see a dialog like: SHOW | PRINT | CANCEL The 'zoom boxes' indicate the desktop is attempting to run a program, and is attempting to pass the file you double clicked as a parameter to that program. Look for a line in your desktop.inf file (probably close to the bottom) that looks similar to: #G 03 FF SOMEPROG.PRG@ *.*@ This line would be placed there if you did an INSTALL APPLICATION on some program, and then typed in: *.* for the document type. > >I have installed them according to the manual, and use DCConfig etc. >My set up is as follows: 1040 STF with 45MByte TCT hard disk drive.

Is DC DeskTOP a commercial product or public domain? Can someone tell me more about it? Thanks.
