Perhaps one of you techno-guys can help me out here:-------OT-------

My new computer is great! My DIMD Fusion has run everything very nicely so far- Unreal and Q2 engines are flying!

My problem is that when I leave the computer alone for a while, I get the following message: "couldn't write data to drive C (or defghijkl)- data may be lost". Naturally it is on a blue screen- but not a screen of death. I hit a button, and go back to work, no problem. When I reboot, though, I have to go through scan disk... a pain more than anything. File structure ok, and though I have only done the surface scan once, everything was ok there as well.

The only other problem I have is Navigator 4.5 locks up now and then. Not frequent, but more than 4.05. Has anybody else had a problem with Nav 4.5? Could it be related to the hard drive problem?

I suspect that the hard drive thing may have to do with the advanced power management, which is on in my BIOS, yet not fully supported in Win95? HD sleeps after 15 minutes, per BIOS.

Thanks for the help!
