Uh oh. What version are your running? RTM won't upgrade. All other versions should. And, you are welcome.

Do you by chance have nero installed? It can cause this problem, and other problems with tumbnails too.

Desided to upgrade to v6000 from v5840... wow took forever, 1hr 20 min...
then the time to reactivate... that took almost as much time... I forgot to write the SN down.. so had to do "the 3 times trial" and then it finished booting so i could (find the right SN) and add.. I now have the SN on the back of the case. (dumb mistake)..so we shall see...
Now all the ARROWS are gone. Thanks to Herby "herby.virtualplastic.net"
