Rebooted and ok. Then I've had part of a program essentially disappear on several occasions. It's a database scheduling program for accounts. The first window always works - where the contacts are actually listed. However, the actuall scheduling window just opens blank and freezes. Here rebooting doesn't work and I need to restore a backup. That seems to fix it, but I've no idea why it happens ...... These events are what I've run into in one week of running 7 Prof 64 bit - I expect there's more to come :) Louise
