<div>Thanks David and Doug for the info.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But I'm not sure I agree that it is a hardware issue, with the greatest of respect of course :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The machine I am using is a Compaq EVO D510 - I have 6 of these all running app_rpt. They all installed fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is the only one I had any issues installing the ACID setup on. This was a reinstall as the HDD died and I fitted a new one and wanted to put app_rpt on it. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unless something has changed recently on the ACID distro? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Matt<br></div>
