I do something similar, swopping files quite frequently, John, but get
very little in the way of problems. My set up is as is from installation.
Can't seem to understand your set up relative to mine. My set up is with
StrongArm RISC OS4 on Win7. I've avoided moving VirtualAcorn from the C:
drive cos if did and if I got into trouble I would be utterly clueless.

Not much help I'm afraid, but you never know!
