WARNING! This software apparently does not run on Windows 2000. For
some strange reason, it runs on 98, ME, and XP, but not 2000. When I
installed it, it complained that a couple of files were missing.

The missing files were mscomctl.ocx and mscomct2.ocx.

When I exited the install program, I got a message that looked to be
from Windows saying that some files were now missing and that Windows
might be unstable.

So far Windows seems to be running OK and ProChef Plus also runs so
I'm not sure what the error message was about. I am talking to the
developer, but if you have Win2K you might not want to try this
program.

If I get a better answer, I will post it.

I have never seen a program that would work on 98 and XP but not 2000.
