My wife has bravely soldiered through to Level 21 with the kids avidly following and watching her every move. Tonight, the kids managed to open a second instance of DROD in a separate window. In attempting to close the one version (my wife\'s version) the second window appeared and could not be closed except through ctrl-alt-del/program not responding/end task.

Having re-booted the computer, the program will start. However, selecting either Continue or Restore causes the program to stop responding and necessitating a ctrl-alt-del/program not responding/end task sequence.
It looks like their database is corrupted. Is anyone willing to send their drod1_5.dat file to Bruce? Ideally, you would have gotten at least to level 21, not skipping any levels on the way. I don\'t have a .dat file that gets past those levels, or I would do it.

I can do it, if I knew how to do it.

Here\'s how:
1. Find the drod1_5.dat file. If you installed DROD at \"c:\\program files\\drod\" then your .dat file will be at \"c:\\program files\\drod\\dat\\drod1_5.dat\".
2. Add drod1_5.dat to a zip archive, using software like WinZip, PKZip, or UltimateZip.
3. E-mail the zip archive file to our friend Bruce, at:

Got it. No problem at all, and I\'ll keep it ready for any other problems as such.
