I click on "OK". The machine hums for a while... A dialog box appears with the universal "stop" icon and an "OK" button, but no message. The box is the same size as the "Are you sure?" box, and clicking the "OK" button allows me to continue. I don't know if the desktop is successfully rebuilt or not. Other info: Disinfectant 2.0 says I'm virus-free. There are 700+ files on the disk drive. I want to buy a IIfx but can't afford one. The question: Does anyone know why this is happening? -- Scott Forbes Student Member of the Board of Trustees strustee@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign Disclaimer: The password for my account is hidden in the above posting
