    Perhaps, perhaps not. Yesterday when I should restart the AMD 64 I placed my hand on the chassis and could feel some vibrations as lather disappeared. I couldn’t hear if it was the fan or the disc. That is my Achilles heel. But all other works well and I have not got a feeling or message there is something wrong on that computer.

    If the disc should go crazy and the read/write head should begin go very fast fort and back I can’t think it should cause heavy vibrations or perhaps am is wrong? And the fan should only give vibrations if it runs in unbalance for example.

    To be honest I have zero experience of accidents with discs and fans. My experience is discs of today and even 10 year back is very reliable and don’t broke down after 5 year. On my Intel PII I have an 8 year old disc as never failed and yet it worked hard running MoneyBee.

    I agree with Ototero's post. Lagu do you have any software for checking the hard disk? You said you ran chkdsk but was this using the chkdsk /f command to fix any errors? Have you tried running Windows defrag utility? Do you have any other diagnostic software like Nortons or there are bound to be some utilities on the internet if you Google for them as "Hard disk utility". Maybe the drive manufacturer has something you can run.

    What are the temperatures like in your case and the hard disk?
    Try using PC Wizard 2008 to test the system.

    To answer your question about Windows activation - I have found the Microsoft staff very helpful when you explain what has happened and why you need to re-activate Windows.

    I got a message from a popup window as stated MoneyBee screensaver not could run at the same time as the other so I was wrong. It come up when I was sleeping but MoneyBee on a memory stick works as it was on the hard disc whish is fine.

    I am interested to know if the system drive is formatted in NTFS or FAT32?

    The system drive is formatted in NTFS AMDave. I ran PC Wiscard 2008 and tested the 1 GB USB memory and the programme found it was FAT.

    I got a brave idea: I installed MoneyBee on my Intel using a Memory Stick and voilá it worked. I Change folder to E:/ and only 2 files was installed. I clicked on the MoneyBee icon and the agent started.
    Then I tried run the screensaver at the same time and both worked side by side. Perhaps I have found the solution run that project on both instanses.

    Note: I didn´t get the registration file but so far all seems right. My Username is right and my rank is lesser than the other and I will watch if it will come up to the others rank and catch them.

    I will report how it goes.so you guys can do the same. So far it works as a dream. We know there have been a problem how run MoneyBee on 2 instances. For me the screensaver runs during my sleep and during the day.

    I tried install MoneyBee on a diskette on my AMD but failed. "No datafile found". Perhaps a Diskette is too slow use and the Format is FAT not NTFS. I noticed how slow it was because the agent took a while to load.
