Dear Mr. Evans, For a long time, I'm having a really nasty problem with !PhotoDesk when it comes to simply load the application: sometimes it loads properly, but most of the times it will freeze the machine completely. Sometimes, the machine freezes straight away, sometimes there's an error box first, saying that the scrap directory still contains some sprites from a previous use. I can then choose between discarding them (by clicking Cancel) or retrieve them (by clicking OK). No matter what option I choose, the machine will freeze completely (with even the pointer frozen). Strangely, there's never any file in the scrap directory, but it doesn't make any difference whether I delete the appropriate directory, or the entire PhotoDesk directory from !Scrap. I've had some mail exchange about this problem with David Ruck, but he couldn't help me either. The bug didn't sound familiar and he couldn't replicate it. My current set up is !PhotoDesk 3.09 on an Iyonix 5.16. I would love to upgrade, but not until this problem is solved. Do you perhaps have any idea? Kind regards, Paul Sprangers
