Bad news with good anyway.
I had a loose cable for a IDE hard disk long ago and it wrote garbage to
the drive which was then total unreadable nonsense. I now watch those
hardware connections carefully.
P.S. I'm finally doing more with the S.P. but now my "Official"
pvengine.exe is getting idle. Not too concerned. Though I have had
unexplained glitches now and then, goes with the territory.
