I know nothing of the utility program. I am not a WinXP Home user. If you have TB installed on a NTFS partition, it seems to me that you have the same problem I had on WinXP Pro which was a rights problem with the limited user account. I corrected the rights problem for the limited user account and the problem went away. > I got Windows XP Professional Upgrade. I'll probably upgrade and try > again. You may be better off in the long run with WinXP Pro. I don't know how the upgrade works, but if you install over WinXP Pro and previous settings carried forward you will STILL have to correct the rights for the limited user account to correct the problem. > What a hassle. Computers are great when they work, however they can be a royal PITA when they don't. -- Best Regards, Greg Strong Using The Bat! v3.0.2.8 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
