I use the rapid Storage myself as well, even though I do not use RAID simply because things seem smoother overall. I never even thought that it could cause or resolve the issue you were having though.

Glad it worked out and resolved your problem :)
Thanks Wishmaster. I'm over the moon!

When I think about it, this type of problem began intermittently with Nero 7 on Vista Ultimate a few years ago. If only I'd known ... I wish ... all those wasted discs!

Makes me wonder how many others might be struggling with a similar scenario and not know the simple answer, because all my Google searches to solve it came up zilch.

Cheers Bernie :)
