strange!?!?!
hey guys,
i have a rather weird problem and i'm not sure if anyone knows what it may be or perhas someone here has had this happen.
basically, my machine stays on 22 hours a day. i have never really had any software related issues with the exception of the regular version bugs and the occasional doc watson misha.
we reboot each morning, and yesterday, i found that when we went to do the regular qualification, i couldn't because my probe file had comlpetely disapeared! i initially thought that perhas someone deleted it from the program directory, but the file itself was still there, it just didn't have any data in it. so, i reboot again, and find that this is not the fix.
after rebuilding the probe file, and cursing for a few minutes, i am ready to qualify only to find that my qualification tool files have also been munched!!
i reboot, again not the fix, so i curse some more and create a new tool. i run qualification but i get a few strange error messages before i can commence, but everything goes smoothly.
just for my own masocistic ways, i decide to reboot the machine again, when i go back, my qualification tools are gone again!!!
my first thought is, virus, sy, etc. so i comletely take c off of network, get rid of everything unnecessary and run syware and adware swees, virus scan, and i install a personal firewall on the machine.
unfortunately, all of the swees were clean, which really makes messes me u now, as i have nothing that i can point at.
if anyone has any ideas, or can share their experiences, that would be great!!!

thanks,
sounds like your hard drive might be starting to crash. perhas the sectors of the drive that contain your pc-dmis program have become corruted as a result. have you tried reinstalling the pc-dmis program?
have you it eole try scanning your hafrd drive for bad sectors as well.
try deleting all of your probe files from your pc-dmis directory or where ever they are stored and rebuild the files from scratch. i believe they may have become corrupted an pc-dmis is trying to comensate the only way it knows how.
i've had similar problem-when my program would disapeer!!!
