: Hello...Mark

: I cannot use the calculator in fund manager for some reason. When I click on it, a box pops up and says "the calculator could not be opened. Please ensure the "calc" program is in your path". I have upgraded to 4.3 and thought that this would cure the problem, unfortunately it didn't. Any Ideas?

Hi Bill,
When you ask FM to bring up the calculator, it is just running "calc.exe",
which is the default Windows calculator. If you have removed this program
from your computer, FM won't be able to find it, and won't start the calculator.
You can test this outside of FM by going to "Start/Run..." and then trying
to run "calc.exe". If it isn't on your computer, you will need to reinstall
it from your Windows CD. To do this go to Control Panel, then Add/Remove
Programs, then Windows Setup. The calculator is part of the "Accessories".
You can also replace this calculator with another one that you prefer over
the standard windows one. Just name it "calc.exe".

Thanks,
Mark
