After seeing the other threads on the list, I believe that this issue is related to the LG CD-Rom issue. I had a LG 40x (CRD-8400B) that was toasted my 9.2. (Had 9.1 on the box before with no install errors.) - Not good... S

It's my router/firewall system, so I don't go popping CDs into HDC on it very often.
