Thanks Kevin for that info. I just downloaded the latest update, and attempted to install, but am a little unsure about how to get the serial number without digging up the cd, and my sited wife isn't home right now to read the thing off the disc anyway. I was thinking it might be available within Nero, but when I press the option to enter my serial number, all I get is the Start Smart thing, and maybe the number is listed there somewhere, but I really can't be sure, so guess I'd better wait till she gets home. Oh well, not really in any kind of a hurry I guess <g>. Don't think I'll be replacing the drive today.
