Why might Wordplay Wizard not start on my computer?

Wordplay Wizard is known to be incompatible with the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature of Windows XP and Windows Vista. If DEP is enabled for all programs and services, Wordplay Wizard will not run unless you allow it to.

This issue only affects the minority of computers that can support DEP and have it enabled for all programs. If this is the case, you can turn off DEP for the WORDPLAY.EXE program (usually located in \Program Files\Crossword Man\Wordplay Wizard 1.1) with the help of these instructions:

How can I use a different Internet search engine?

External Lookup supports the and OneLook® search engines by default. To add other search engines, use the Edit|External Lookup|Setup... command to open the Lookup Methods dialog; then enter a Name: and Address: for the search engine in an unused row of the Use web search script section.

The Address: setting is just the address used to access the search engine, with {entry} to indicate where the word or phrase should be inserted.
