Thanks ted. I have tried various possibilities in the Preferences but keep getting the error message. For example if I set it to start at Freedom boxc log on the error message appears immediately after the confirmation that I am logged in. I suspect that I must have got a corrupted download of the installer. Using a dial up connection it takes over 2 hours and I had to resume once which might account for my problem.
