I changed this to "true", but it didn't change root's behaviour (i.e. it didn't cause root to output the debugging information that you asked for) . This suggests to me that, on Win98 anyway, root does not read the .rootrc file in the tutorials subdirectory (the only one on my Win98 system), or any directory for that matter (except for the "Current Working Directory" - see below). However, when I ran root from the tutorlals subdirectory, then root appeared to run OK (I was able to ".L rootalias.C" and ".x benchmarks.C", and everything appearded to run OK). Here is the output that you asked for: Which: Root_Graf3d.dll = c:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\bin\Root_Graf3d.dll Which: Root_Tree.dll = c:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\bin\Root_Tree.dll Which: Root_Matrix.dll = c:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\bin\Root_Matrix.dll Which: Root_Minuit.dll = c:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\bin\Root_Minuit.dll Which: Root_Postscript.dll = c:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\bin\Root_Postscript.dll Which: Root_Html.dll = c:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\bin\Root_Html.dll Which: rootalias.C = C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\tutorials\rootalias.C Which: rootalias.C = C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\tutorials\rootalias.C Which: rootlogon.C = C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\tutorials\rootlogon.C Which: rootlogon.C = C:\Program Files\root\2_23_11\tutorials\rootlogon.C Welcome to the ROOT tutorials So, it would appear that ROOT v. 2.23.11 requires a .rootrc file to exist with an entry for "WinNT.*.Root.DynamicPath" in order to properly function on a Win98 machine. Can you confirm this? If this is the case, then where should .rootrc be placed on a Win98 system so that root finds it at startup? I have attached the file myroot.bat to this e-mail which now starts up root properly on my Win98 system, thanks to your help. Please let me know if this is the "wrong" way to do this, or if you think that there is a better way. Regards, Matt -- Matthew D.
