Re: Win32 Dia install not workable

[LDGarner <garnerl kenyon edu>]

There was no previous dia version installed.

I believe all is now well.  I uninstalled GTK+2.8 and installed GTK+ 
2.6.* from your link.  I changed the screen color quality from Medium 
(16 bit) to Highest (32 bit), changed the compatibility settings to 
basically be off.  AND THE PROGRAM RAN FINE!

Thanks guys!
