Well, it appears that the installation probs mentioned-above do not occur when I install the international version of 3.8.6. Pro for XP. However, while running it keeps flikkering (or blinking). I suspect it has something to do with JAva.....although I installed the latest (?) version of JRE (1.3.1_04). Maybe a hardware driver problem? Any advice will be highly appreciated!

and all of this only to get rid of the spyware...........
