Greetings J.M. ( + )!( + ) When you turn the platform on, do you get the start-up bong sound? Or is there just nothing. No sound means bad memory or perhaps a bad processor. If you get the start-up bong and nothing else, you might have a bad drive. I hope that this helps Harry ---------------------------------------------------- On Jul 13, 2008, at 10:26 AM, J.M.
