I get an error message saying

Can't run 16-bit Windows program
Cannot find file <picaxe18x.exe> (or one of its librarys). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

when i click the program pic button

I have solved this problem myself.
Short filename support was disabled.
look at www.amigaforever.com/Kb/4-131.html for the solution

This is also explained in the network installation section of part 1 of the manual.

its me again. about the problem, i did some searching and found that installing windows xp service pack 2 deleted autoexec.nt, which the computer uses to run old 16 bit and msdos games and programs. reinstalling this by inserting your windows xp cd. if, like i, you dont have the cd or lost it, you can download and install the relevant file from

the relevant download is second from the top.

hope this helps all those who had the same problem as me.
Cheers
