Thanks for mentioning it. I found this this via google and it seemed like
the right place. Now I know.

I've tried that now, it looks like it now is searching for a "temp"
directory as well. I didn't get a "fake windows" when installing, but got
one from a friend. I'm beginning to suspect something is broken with the
