Thanks for the reply Joe, however I tried Method #1 and this did not work.
For the time being I uninstalled ADT2 and ADT3 erased the shared acad
directory and re-installed. Still no luck. I gave in and uninstalled ADT2
and re-installed ADT3 and all is fine now, except that I don't have ADT2
installed. I guess for now this is acceptable, I guess.
