Thadeus, Many thanks for your fast response - you nailed it - the newer version I installed is looking for files/apps on my C drive - (I had set the the previous version's apps up on my D drive). I just need to move them per your suggestion. FWIW - I've also used the WingIDE for some Python development and like it a lot for general coding/debugging.
P.S. I'm not sure if it's possible to symlink in windows (xp). Windows short cuts are somewhat similar to symlinks but may not work with web2py . thx again!
