damon you may want to contact the author, i found him to be very accessable.
also willing to listen.
are you saying you tested system commander on a system with one partition?
i would never do that in a million years.
if i used such a product i would use seperat partitions.
you see why test something if you are not testing it the way people use
it, with n t that does not mean fat 16.
now it may well be that system commander goes crazy over the key thinking
it might be a virus.
you may want to ask if that is possible, if so is their an option to
disable it.
if not the author seemed like he might be willing to listen.
well just wanted to let you know he seemed like the type that would.
thanks for hearing me out.
