Ditto. I recently bought Hiarcs 7.32 and installed it on an Iomega Zip disk because I have small hard drive. It worked OK, in general, but there were a few problems probably related to that method. So I made room and installed it on my hard drive. Wa la, it works just fine, no problems. And I have an ancient Aptiva i486 dx2 66MHz system with a 538MB hard drive, so it should work relatively much better on current computer systems. My best advice would be to make sure that ALL other software is disabled/inactive before installing Hiarcs 7.32. Use CONTROL-ALT-DELETE and end all windows tasks except Explorer. Utilities such as Norton's antivirus software are often the culprit here, and MUST be disabled before installing new software. For example Norton's (and some other utility software) may automatically activate itself when you restart your computer, which is a NO-NO!!! You must go into Norton's to disable this feature, before installing new software. Afterwards you can reactivate it, if you want. Windows is quirky, and you must observe this particular quirk, or expect a lot of strange problems... --JRM
