Eric,
   This is a WinXP dialog box and not unique to N1MM.  The reason that the 
dialog boxes keep coming up is that N1MM is written with MS Visual Basic 
6.0, which is a "legacy" programming application - albeit still very good.  
The .ocx and .dll files that N1MM uses are older versions of files that are 
normally on WinXP machines.  The newer files are backwards compatable and 
will work FB with N1MM.  While it is annoying, this function keeps one from 
overwriting a later version of a file that may cause other programs to not 
function properly.  I do agree that the verbage on the dialog box could be a 
lot clearer - but that is not the fault of the N1MM developers.  If you 
think all this is a mess now, just wait until MS Vista is released!
