Anything else about the machine behaving oddly? Ran a chkdsk?

No and no - but it seems miraculously to have started behaving itself for
the last couple of days.

Weird!

I'll come back to this if it happens again. Meanwhile I need to install
some printers and am sort of hoping that 64bit drivers are available for all
the ones I need.

Thanks for the ideas.

Interesting thought, but there's nothing like this in the virtual store.
I *think* I am doing all the appropriate operations in elevated mode. (I am
copying from Windows explorer and giving explicit permission when asked.)
