[quote="Aaron"]I've a customer who is having an issue with Pluto.
They have copied Pluto from their Kinetic to the VirtualRPC (it would have been better if they had installed from the original floppy).
The issue is that whenever they run Pluto it moans and asks for "ADFS::HardDisc4". My assumption is that there are some settings inside PLuto that store save/load paths for data. These need to be changed. However the user cannot seem to find where these settings are stored. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm the customer - but having lost access to email due to yet another HD fault, I've only now been able to join this Forum, so asked Aaron to enquire on my behalf.
In talking to him, he proved correct in saying 'Install from the original copy' since I thus gained rudimentary email but at the price of losing access to all previous emails. But in setting up Pluto again from scratch, it gave a clue as to what the "HardDisc4 not found" error referred to. Pluto was actually wanting to know where NetFetch (i.e. Hermes and Newshound) was located. This less-than-helpful error message was compounded by the fact that when I later 'dropped' NetFetch in the setup window of Pluto, nothing appeared to have changed since the path wasn't shown.
I've subsequently discovered that it does in fact reset Pluto, and I now have all my email back as before, but on VRPC-SA instead of the Kinetic. Whew!
The only downside is that I've still got to find out how to set something (Pluto? NetFetch?) to stop the avalanche of News matter. And I can't get advice from the NewsGroups because I'd be overwhelmed in the process . .
It does mean that I can now move over completely to VRPC as the successor to the Kinetic, the SARPC, the Archimedes, the Master, the BBC-B.
Nice to join the Forum - already as a Guest I'd found from here the solution to a doddery pointer whenever I even approached a Browser button (e.g. looking at the on-screen Manual). Thanks.
