Thank you for your quick response!

I had those messages on the old PC also and your plugins worked. I had
to switch language from Swedish to English and then straight back to
Swedish on the new PC because this old bug resurfaced
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10114. At least
CustomBrowse and TrackStat work on the new PC despite the error
messages.

I will try to switch to English and stick with English to see if the
errors go away.

Yes, it seems like a one time event. I just wanted to report the one
hour delay with CustomScan.

OH, never mind those. They are from a couple of times when I thought
that SBS had stalled completely and manually killed the relevant
processes because SBS was totally unresponsive and could not be stopped
the normal way. Finally I decided to wait out CustomScan's 1 hour
converting.

The disc is not full. I use Microsoft Security Essentials on the new
PC. I have excluded .myd and .myi files as well as the processes
SqueezeSvr.exe and Mysgld.exe. Should I exclude also .frm files? (There
seems to be no way to temporarily disable Microsoft Security Essentials.
I guess I could switch to Avast instead which worked on the old PC.)

I restored TrackStat data from the old PC just once, but I did not
delete the existing TrackStat data first (there should not have been
much data since I have only played a couple of tracks to try out the
new setup).

I will delete and then restore the TrackStat data from the old PC.
