I believe the cause of the problem of not being able to launch more than 
once has been found and will be resolved in the next release of E-Loader 
(coming soon). This should only be a problem on Windows 4.x systems 
(e.g. Win 98 variants) and only happens when using the Microsoft JVM. 
The interim work around is to use the Sun JVM instead, which I recommend 
in general anyway. If people are having this kind of problem with any 
Windows 5.x systems (WinNT variants) and/or any Sun JVM, you need to let 
me know.

Note if you are currently running the Microsoft JVM and want to switch 
to the Sun JVM you must un-install E-Loader and re-install it after 
installing the Sun JVM (a version of it can be found on the CD that came 
with your unit). E-Loader remembers which brand of JVM was used when 
first installed and will continue to use that one on any subsequent 
launch even if another brand of JVM was installed later. Un-installing 
E-Loader will not cause any data to be lost.

I am not aware of any unresolved problems when running E-Loader on a 
Mac. All the problems I have heard of with the Mac have been resolved by 
users by re-installing the Mac JVM (MRJ). If anyone has unresolved 
issues with E-Loader and the Mac, let me know, because there are no 
fixes in the works. (i.e. there are no non-operational bug fixes planned 
for the Mac, though there will be new features in the new release)
