Unfortunately there's now a new problem which was not present previously (either before the new HDD was installed, or since the HDD replacement and prior to driver version 1.02). Please can someone else try this:- - put some JPG files (more than one) in a directory/folder on a floppy - set the properties for the directory/folder to Enable Thumbnail View - go to View and select Thumbnails On my L110, the first thumbnail appears, and then before the second one is displayed, I get: A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:00000009. The current application will be terminated. ...followed by... A fatal exception OE has occurred at 16C7:013F75B6. The current application will be terminated. ...followed by just wallpaper, and all I can do is cut the power. Tried this with several disks, different images and directories/folders...
