Hi, Evan, and wonderful! It's been a long, long time since I did a defrag, too...until this morning. I finally remembered to do one, since I'd been thinking about doing one for a while now but kept forgetting, and it's amazing what that can do to your system speed! <smile> I'm glad it's working properly for you now. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: mercy0421 Please contact me if I may not recognize your contact info before adding me or I may not add you!

I scanned twenty pages in repeated scanning mode, did a couple search and replaces and arrowed up and down through some pages and a couple of other things, and it is back to the way it was when I installed it. I did forget to do a check for errors, and I will do that. But it appears that the program was slowing down due to a fragmented disc. Sorry, I didn't write down the statistics before I did the defrag, but I guess it is sufficient to know that that was the problem. Also, as per Nick's suggestion, I changed the setting in the Hold Scanner portion of the settings dialog box to Never. Thanks to all for the help. Sorry about the first couple of cranky messages. All I can do is quote someone who once said: "only a mediocre person is always at his best." Thanks, again.
