If it's still the same model I would not expect any differences however if you are using a different motherboard, this could affect things if you haven't done a re-install. You could also check to see if the CMOS (BIOS) settings are what you used to have if it's the same board model. This could also be a video RAM issue - just a guess though.

Well In found and loaded the missing windows DLL and guess what .... Now when I click on the icon it goes shaded and then nothing happens - I think we can conclude this application is not going to simply run under ODIN unfortunately.

Ed, that sounds as if the requisite DLLs don't want to play in the shadow of ODIN...
