Rick,
Thanks for the help. I did as instructed, removed all the stuff out of the root folder, retraced my steps and installed using the instructions for "root user" (why is a long story).
Upon completing the install, we tried to call up some data, and cannot seem to figure out why it will not open into afni. we went into the program files and opened afni individually, but could not open it with data.
any suggestions/recomendations/ideas about where we may be dropping the ball?
Thank You once again!
-Tim
