Bob,
Sorry, I can't find dbhelp on my C drive at all ! Nor any info online (
except your requests ). Have you tried turning it off / rebooting /
turning it on ?
Could you tell us :
What is your Pc doing when it dies ? Network activity / doesn't matter
etc ?
Start-run- drwatsn32- OK
Change a few options - reboot and see if creates new file ?
