Does anyone else have a problem AFTER you've had one error message, when VA5000 seems to become unstable and need a restart? I have set up a macro to automatically copy an archive from floppy to the RAM disc on my laptop and if I set it going before putting the disc in the drive (I know that that is a daft thing to do, I don't do it on purpose but I do get the occasional senior moment) I get the standard "disc not found" error. After that I start getting all sorts of errors trying to open directories and can even get into an unescapable error box loop. The situtation is resolved by restarting VA5000. Is there a problem with error handling (ie one mistake is all you're allowed)? Is this still an issue with VRPC?
Minor gripe really. Use the program every day on my laptop and I think its more stable than my occasional misadventures with MS office...

It's not a problem I have ever seen before. VA5000 uses an old version of HostFS, but I simply don't know if VRPC suffers from the same problem, but I think it's unlikely.
