Mainly from the internal drive, but sometimes from the external too. When I pick 'retry' it works fine. This is ok, except for the many programs that dont allow me to retry, and just sit there while I can't switch back to the workbench screen. Some people told me it could be due to grounding problems. I've cleaned the drive, and even oiled the drive shafts. But nothing seems to help. Any Ideas? BTW, I also have a problem with scattered dots in graphics, scattered in evenly spaces lines during some animation, usually fast.. Also heard this is a grounding problem.. If someone knows what I can ground to what, please reply.. (on here, I cant receive mail directly on my node.) Thank you.. Randy Katz
