   Hi Michael,   
      
   Thanks for your help. The zip file did not contain an executable. I expanded   
   it in BeOS with the built in expander. Hm...guess the files are messed up   
   maybe...   
      
   Something else that was a problem...it was after installing 5.0.1 update   
   that caused the system to be unable to boot. I went into the start options   
   and managed to get it booted if I disable calling the BIOS. Any ideas as to   
   why? Or perhaps to permanently enable this.
