Donna I downloaded the file pertaining to optimizing the hdd. It's a pdf file but only 17 kb, what a surprise. <A HREF="http://www.raxco.com/products/perfectdisk2k/whitepapers/to_optimize_or_not.pdf";> http://www.raxco.com/products/perfectdisk2k/whitepapers/to_optimize_or_not.pdf</A> If you can't get it send a note offlist and I'll attach the file to a reply. An attachment won't go thru the list so it must be offlist. joe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REALITY.SYS corrupted- reboot Universe (Y/N)?
