Tom,
I don't use UniMaint for backup and restore of my desktop. However, I do have the
UniMaint hardcopy user manual.

But before we go there, have you considered that it may be hanging on a driver or
perhaps, the loading of a *.dll from a newly installed program?You can place a file,
named "altf2on.$$$", in the root directory of your boot drive. It's just an ASCII file that
results in the displaying of all the drivers as their load. Perhaps you are hanging on a
driver. Enclosed please find my altf2on.$$$ file. Why don't you try it and see if its a
driver, first.
