Stats:

Warrock Kit - Import  = 59% res. drop - delete & purge res. recovery only to 67%

Golden Hind - Import = 58% res. drop - delete & Purge res. recovery only to 61%

StoneMason backstreets = 68% res. drop - Delete & Purge res. recovery only to 75%

Stonemason Urban Sprawl = 64% res. drop - Delete & Purge res. recovery only to 72%

Stonemason Warehouse District = 78% res. drop - Delete & purge recovery only to 81%

This was done one at a time - closing & reopening Vue - res. started at 93%

Something is amiss. I can't recover squat during a purge - I should be able to purge & recover back to close to 85-89% as in the past. Aside of the other obvious issues :)  I did have collapse identical mats checked - with one undo - all other setting reduced to minimal.

Puter stats:

Win XP Pro(sp2)
4g of ram(tech has mine set to use 3g for apps) and yes it does work before any ?'s start
66G of free HD space
Nvidia 6800 Ultra
Only thing in background is PC-Cillan which uses little space
