Bob,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Which version of Windows are you
running?  This is tested on Windows 7, 8 and 10.  No guarantees on versions
of Windows before that.

I don't recognize the error or the reference to VBrun.  FoxTelem does not
use Visual Basic or the run time environment.  It uses Java.  Make sure
you have the latest version installed from java.com.
