Hi
I found that if I start a new command window, this problem goes away
(at least for a while - at least it hasn't recurred yet). So it's not
a show stopper so far. If it really causes a problem I will try the
rebuild. At present I am just familiarising myself with web polygraph.
Would anyone be interested in my notes on using it with Windows when I
am done?
Thanks
