Thanks to both you and Arttu. As for libpng I've straightened it out on 3 other machines to date, all 64-bit, but this last machine is causing me fits. Fortunately I have two of these machines with the same motherboard, processor, VGA. Only sound is different. The other one worked out OK with libpng so I'll likely just slog through a comparison, config file by config file, to find the differences. Thanks for the link. It should be helpful. Cheers, Mark
