Well.. I just changed it Rick, cause I wanted to see if it did the 5. But
if you think it's not necessary for the 5 phases, then I can certainly handle
the 3. I asked my daughter when she was here this week end if her's ran
through 3 or 5 and she said 5. And her computer is newer than mine, I believe.
I only wanted to make sure, should I have any errors that it took care of
them all. Also, I asked this other friend of mine, and she runs through 5 as
well. But since I have changed mine back to 5 phases, how do I change it back
to 3. I really hated that it takes that long to run through it, but neither
do I want it to over look some errors either. Thanks so much for all this
information. I do appreciate it.. Harriet

Wait for other answers, but I think three stages are "pretty normal".
It might do more if it finds a problem, and if you have seen more stages
before on this same machine, it might be cause to investigate that further.
