	Having been in the throes of development, and most recently on 
vacation, I returned to about 500 news articles and didn't have the fortitude
to read them all. Sorry I missed your original post.

	Is this something recent, or has it been happening ever since you
installed THINK C 4.0, or upgraded it? The only possiblilities I can think
of are that your ImageWriter (I assume you're using an Image Writer) 
driver is smashed, or that your copy of THINK C is smashed; restoring
one or both from the distribution disk may clear up the problem...
