My system is Warp 4.5 Fxpk 15 and I am experiencing some of the same
pitfalls. Thank you for sharing your experience with me; I thought that I
was just being stupid as usual.

Since you and Steven agree on this, I am going to do it.

I have done all of this.

I have 326 mb free on my boot drive so I will just install all of the
MPTS.

Thank you for the offer. Let me try a full installation of MPTS after
booting to my c: drive before you do anything. Since I plan to install
all MPTS, it should not be necessary anyhow.

Thanks again for your help.
