It is essential that you use the complete QL/E, not only the QLE.win. Especially the screen settings (e.g. resolution, colour depth) are important. QPAC2 Files must popup itself at exactly the position with exactly the number of files to display like in my scenario. Otherwise the system may not freeze. I did not (yet) found another scenario to Freeze SMSQ/E with QL/E.

When you're able to view a file then the scenario was not 100% equal. > My laptop is already in its seventh year with a conventional SATA HDD > running W$7. Nothing to complain about if it's at least a Core2Duo with at least 2GB RAM. :-) > Yours I suspect, is running W$10 from an SSD. Could that be an issue? Win7 on my year 2007 (32-bit) and 2011 (64-bit) notebooks, both with SSD.

You did misinterpret/misunderstand this. Just save a file (e.g. WIN1_boot_bak) ONCE. Then reboot and try my scenario. QPAC2 Files will not fail anymore. I think it's because displaying the content of the ROOT of WIN1_ is then slightly different (it has 1 file more in the ROOT directory) and the failure/freeze is not happening here anymore. At least not at this stage. > > Enjoy the sunny Sunday! > > > At the moment it's quite gray here. > That's why I have a sunny picture of the Scottish Highlands as wallpaper. Nice!
