all is fine and I can see the program. For now I have removed ANSI
from the access requirements, so my users can play them, but I'm
concerned what could be causing this. What module countrols this, so I
can see if I don't have the latest one, or what could I have done
since the latest update to cause this. 

 DM> It's Synchronet itself (e.g. sbbs.dll for Windows).

I checked, and I have the one from 2/1/22 in there, and thats the last update I did. This is crazy man, all these issues. I'm litterly at the point of doing a fresh install, but I'm putting that off as a last resort. I downloaded last nights sbbs_run.zip, and sbbs_dev.zip, but I kept getting a Xaccesserror when starting the control panel, so I went back to the 2/1/22 that build that I saved. I'll wait till tomorrow and get a later build incase last nights is corrupt.
