ME has so many bugs in it....My suggestion would be to reformat you c: drive and install a fresh OS of XP. then install Vue. I know that when I upgraded my OS from 2000 Pro to XP Pro...I had the same problem. Did a reformat and clean install of XP (and all the updates and service pak) and it has worked fine ever since. I know that is a pain in the butt, however..it should solve your problem. Make sure you get all the service pak and critical updates for XP from Microsoft as well, "BEFORE YOU INSTALL VUE!" Good luck
