I can't see how this is possible. Can you reproduce this problem? If so, could you please just run the disk test and select Trace 2 level logging and send me the .trace file and the configuration file (Lastused.cfg). at help [at] passmark [dot] com

Thanks.

Hello Ian,

Unfortunately, the "tech" who had the problem fixed it without knowing how - actually he didn't notice the error in the first place! (rolls eyes) I am unable to replicate the problem, but I've let them know if this happens again to let me know.

Sorry.
