Mike, Did you run the frequency calibration in the Setup->General->Calibration The frequency calibration information is kept only in the database, so if you reset your database, you should re-run the frequency calibration. It only takes a few seconds to run and uses WWV as the frequency refere

As Microsoft wants to sell Win7, they are quickly raising the price of XP so that its not economically feasible to buy it (which I would do if I were Microsoft also). In the last 2 months, they have raised the price of a valid OEM copy from $129 to $169. I do not think this will stop either, it see
