Thanks for the replies. I am not feeling confident this is going to work. But doing as I am told..

I found on a 64 bit patch that Slaven put out for a bug very similar to what we are getting, Tk bug 60707, that looks like:

diff --git c/pTk/mTk/xlib/X11/X.h w/pTk/mTk/xlib/X11/X.h
index 95db07f..a1cf10c 100644

-#ifdef _WIN64</code>
+#if defined(_WIN64) && defined(_MSC_VER)
typedef __int64 XID;
#else
typedef unsigned long XID;

My question is how do I run/install the patch(I asked another guy who writes perl and he was not sure)and there were no instructions on the bug page

Thanks for the help and great site

(Thank God for the preview pane)
