Earlier there had been some comments about N&B, but one of the experts
stated that it was a professional program - so, I went out and purchased

it.

Installed same and immediately starting having problems. Problems
similar to that I had on a different computer with First Aid when it
first came out. It locks up the system and causes more problems than it
is worth. I have a Dell PII 233 MHz machine with ample memory and hard
disk using Windows 98 and 32 bit formatting.

First it would hang loading the Launch Pad on the desk top. Doing
Cntl-Alt-Del several times would finally yield "system busy or waiting
for an input." Pressing any key yielded usually "image32 and/or wgpro32
(not responding)."  Closing those programs yielded "Damaged DOS
Parameter Block (BPB)." Typing yes to fix?, create undo? and restart?
Finally got it to boot.  I immediately removed Launch Pad from my start
group.

Then it started hanging on Bomb Shelter and/or WinGuage.  Went through
the same irritation as above.

When I could get it to boot properly, I ran through it's PC Checkup and
it passed except for a couple shared DLLs missing.
I have run every other test I can think of and all is ok. One fault -
McAfee Image states that there is a sector read error on one of the
disks.  I've run other tests to check this and they all came out ok.

What am I missing?  It seems to be a good program. Need help before I
blow my cool and remove it as well.
