Yeah---I have done that--a few times and actually the MFT was not really fragmented--only
2 files. And I was very careful to answer "Y" before the allotted time ran out.
Still, did not help. Anyway, if you ever think of any other reason for this, please
post here, I appreciate it. I still believe that the problem is not very deep--and
perhaps something to do with monitor settings or driver--dunno--just my gut feeling!
Anyway, glad to hear that you got the answer to your problem.
-take care-
