Well, if you were able to reformat the drive and it's working, try to keep it going for a little while and you'll see. I'm not the definitive expert on the question, but when you start hearing clicking noises from the hard drive, that usually means it is close to its useful life. Make sure you make daily backups of your important files. As for going from 9.0 to 9.1 and 9.2.2, I think you should do it. I don't recall any application that would run on 9.0 but not on 9.2.2. There are some differences between these 2 versions but nothing to break applications from running. So, if an application does run fine under 9.0, it should run as well under 9.2.2. The reason to update is for the numerous bug fixes and enhancements that were included in 9.2.2... Remember, keep backing up your vital data every day, you never know... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] code monkey n.: 1.
