I suspect there's a build directory somewhere buried deep down that I can't find. I'm going to try to dig into this a little deeper... although I do need a new motherboard soon. I'm starting to dislike the reliability of Asus motherboards. I've had three fail now (different models) so I ordered an Intel board to replace this current one. I wouldn't be surprised at this point if the motherboard is the cause of my grief. Thankfully I have a laptop or I'd be going through serious internet withdrawal symptoms. :) Dan
