Hi Brian--

I've avoided PC Anywhere, so I don't know how it will behave.  You may
have to turn off some security features, e.g. firewall, and also turn
off all other programs before starting Isodat.  You can try running
Result Workshop or Workspace before trying to open Instrument control or
Acquisition.  You can also try to run configurator--you don't have to
change anything, then closing it and trying Instrument Control.

good luck
