That's interesting. I've installed Graham (another Warp "Must Have" IMO, whose benefits
greatly outweigh any faults), plus assorted CSDs over the years, in two partitions. Some of
these did not go altogether smoothly -- bombing out at some point, or "File Not Found" type
errors, which usually seems to have something to do with the Warpcomm.Msg file -- though
this may or may not be the situation you experienced. I think most of the problems date
from the earlier CSDs that introduced certain new features, like Task Manager. Some updates
did go smoothly, locked file handling on reboot and the whole nine yards. But his CSD
procedure has not been what I would call consistently simple or trouble-free.

Some of these features added options to the popup menu you see with a right mouseclick. The
question is, if these installs created the "No PROPERTIES for certain drive objects"
problem, or the "TreeView crashes or locks up for certain drives" problem, how do you undo
the damage, without having to toss Graham ? Is anyone running a fairly current Graham
Util.s, who can *still* access Properties for CD drives or a Zip Drive ? That would
possibly undercut your theory, or else make this situation more curious.

I may take this up with Chris. (Sometimes he replies, sometimes he doesn't.)
