As I've said to Druck, it hasn't affected VRPC on this
laptop so I'm not inclined to suspect it. In any case, I've
just checked both machines and searches in RegEdit fail to
find any mention of VRPC.

I have it installed on its own SSD in the  machine and the
external backup is from a couple of weeks prior to when
VRPC was last run (little new data added in that period).

All applications and data are on a new mount (HardDisc5)
except for PS3 and PrintPDF which are in the Printing
directory on HardDisc4 (don't ask me for a rationale - if I
ever had one it's long forgotten) so reinstalling VRPC
shouldn't be too difficult. However, I'll ask on the forum
before I take that step

Thanks,

John
