I did try to uncheck that attribute - no change. My OS is Win 2K, but I installd it on my XP system to check that out - Mega still has no foot line on the XP OS. Well, it's not really an earth shattering problem, more just a curiosity at this point. Thanks for yours and Jeroen's thoughts on this issue. >mr logan i figured your problem out. >it has to do with the file properties of the large commercial databases as you >installed them. >their attributes must be changed from archival or read-only in the OS, probably >at the folder-level.
