    Tx for the advice.... after using 'shelxview' & disabling ~6 items, I haven't had a problem.... I'll now start individually enabling & testing to find the culprit(s).... Tx again:)

    Well, if you enabled each individually, did you try with all enabled at the same time?

    It could be that there are some that aren't playing nice together.

    If you did already try them with all enabled, blame it on cosmic rays :rolleyes:
