Glen, Thank you! That's good to know, and I have no doubt you're correct. I run Legacy on an IBM Thinkpad with Windows XP, all software installed at IBM (I work at IBM). Of course that does NOT preclude there being a driver conflict!
I would guess that if it happened once (to me), it's possible it can happen to others - so be aware of the possibility :) My original scheme had been to use the database on the flash drive, and do backups to the hard drive. Now both database and backups are on the same hard drive. Obviously vulnerable if the hard drive crashes! So I keep a copy of the current database on our webserver as well. The webserver's in a different region of the USA so a local disaster isn't likely to affect both.
