Gene, Yes, but the File Maintenance won't solve that problem - you need to defrag to put things back into contiguous sectors. However that's beyond the scope of the Legacy list and fits more into a general Windows discussion group.
So true - a reboot will cure a multitude of ailments, esp when the user keeps their computer on all the time. Thanks for using Legacy.

I think this is what was inferred. If your O/S loses data from the FAT it can mess things up but this does not seem to be the case here. It sounds more like some program the OP had running was not behaving "politely" and not releasing unused memory. As has been discovered and posted, a restart will usually rectify the problem. The moral here is "When in doubt, do a cold reboot!" This amazingly does fix a multitude of problems. <g> -- Gene Y. n2kvs Researching Young, Zies, Harer & Cox with Legacy Family Tree http://h1.ripway.com/egptech/ Give Legacy as a Gift for 25% Off.
