Valentina, XP SP3 and Vista crash (desperate)

[Bill Mounce]

I am using Parallels and VMFusion. My master XP is not SP2 so I can't  
use Boot Camp.

If I put all the applications items and all of Valentina in a folder  
inside the Applications folder, and if I put the Valentina database  
inside another folder that is inside MyDocuments, then everything  
worked. I had the databases inside the same folder as the application,  
which in turn was in the Applications folder in Windows. I think this  
is where the permissions became an issue.
