Hi Marty. what you're dealing with here man, is the basic problems of 
windows. I've done 4 hour broadcasts on Interactive where my computer 
crashed and I got a 0 byte file afterwords. It's just one of those things 
that unfortunately just happens occasionally. short of scanning your system 
for spyware or viruses, doing a defrag or scan disc and any other 
maintanance sort of stuff, there's nothing much else that I can personally 
suggest. Maybe someone else on the list can give you another idea though, 
remember everyone's computer system is different. So if there's one other 
little bit of advice that I can give you about streaming, or just windows 
in general, is to just use the advice and tutorials you read as a road map. 
don't take them as the absolute gospel when it comes to this stuff because 
like I said, computers are all different. Even 2 computers of the same 
model, for whatever reason, can actually act differently even when put 
under the exact same conditions.  The configurations can be exactly he same 
but you still may get different results. I'm sorry your archive didn't come 
out.
