You're using the backup utility to create backups that you restore from? I've never done a complete uninstall of TB! since using it in 1999. I've usually just switched executables. If I have a problem with the new one, I replace it with the one I was using before. The beta download consists of just the program executable. I rename the one I was using and then place the beta in the installation directory. I then try it. If I'm not happy, I just delete it and rename the old executable back to the right name. All this uninstalling and restoring may be causing you more harm than the beta itself, especially if you're using the tb-backup. It can be unpredictable how that work. My last use of it to restore to a copy of SecureBat! yielded only partial restoration. There was on SecureBat! build where with each restart, the folders would all disappear leaving only the basic default folders. So all this may be a mainly problems with restoring. What was your original reason for completely uninstalling TB!. This beta runs well on my system here. No catastrophes to speak of. -- -= Allie =- ..... Climate is what you expect.
