Not a good idea to put files that are needed by a program on an external drive. I would suggest reinstalling the program and move the files to an internal drive. Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

Thanks for the help! Ray

Change your external drive to x or something 'late' in the alphabet, so it won't be replaced. Rich Gu

That is what I did...thanks! Ray
