GdiPlus.dll can be donwloaded for free from the Microsoft web site. It originally comes with Windows XP and Vista, but for earlier versions of Windows you have to install it manually.
We are not allowed to distribute it because it is not the property of mE.

i will do the install and try again.

ok what is the minimum requirement to run MB Pro ?
so, he's not compatible with W2K SP4 ?

thanks

---------------------------- from Microsoft :
For Windows XP use the system-supplied gdiplus.dll. Do not install a new gdiplus.dll over the system-supplied version (it will fail due to Windows File Protection).

For Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98, install gdiplus.dll into the private directory of the application not into the system directory.

In addition to the rights granted in Section 1 of the Agreement ("Agreement"), with respect to gdiplus.dll for Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98, you have the following non-exclusive, royalty free rights subject to the Distribution Requirements detailed in Section 1 of the Agreement:

(1) You may distribute gdiplus.dll solely for use with Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98. "

Sure, there will be no conflicts between the two programs as long as they are installed in separate directories.
