Did you take a look with UNIMAINT ? Reportedly, there are some anomalies it
can identify that CHECKINI may miss, and vice-versa.

No, but I have seen something quite similar (mostly pertaining to attempts to
use TreeView to access CDs or -- in particular -- Zip Disks) on my system.
Occasionally with a floppy. It was inconsistent and annoying, possibly having
something to do with slightly corrupted objects for the CD drives and the Zip
Drive. To this day, I cannot access Properties for any of those drives,
whereas I'm 90 % certain that at one time I could. I submitted this to Steven
a long time ago, and we never did get to the bottom of it. Haven't had any
problems I can recall in regard to TreeView for the hard drives, though. Had
it been a bit more annoying, I might have brought the system down to a Help
Desk for this. But I don't use TreeView enough for that.

No, that is ***MUCH*** worse. Trust me.
