Hello Dennis:
When in doubt (when Windows is concerned): reboot the computer. This always "clears the cobwebs".
Having said that, with WinXP, you might want to add more RAM (1GB would be nice), and so it might be a hard drive error, since it is likely that you have to resort to virtual memory. Did you reformat the HD to NTFS, or did you leave it as FAT32?
My hard drive is more than adequate - I have about 100 gigs free. Maybe I need more RAM, but I have 2 times the amount I had before XP....
I have run restore several times thinking it may be a hard drive error - but that isn't the problem either. I'm thinking maybe it has something to with Visual Reality running on the XP operating system...
Also, my hard drive is NTSF formatted...

Very well could be Visual Reality. Visual Reality has been reported not to work propery on a NTFS formated system. I have heard of people running it from a spare Fat32 drive on a WinXP NTFS system. Might be worth a try.
Thanks! - Josh

Hello:
Josh is probably right -- Mark Madura did post something a while back about VR not being able to write to an NTFS drive... He suggested saving things to a Zip drive, or a networked FAT32 drive, now that you mention it.
And yes, they pretty much did disappear...

Thanks for the insight. I can't believe that Visual Reality would vanish like that. I think it is a tremendous program.
Guess I'll stick an old FAT32 drive in the cabinet and see what happens.
