Question, if you just turn on the laptop and let it sit for a half hour or so doing nothing, will SEIV work properly or not? That might be a clue as to what sort of issue to look for.
Well, I actually like my two Dell machines. There just seems to be a quirk in the laptops that crashes SEIV, or, probably more accurately, there's a quirk in SEIV that causes it to crash on Dell laptops.
Your idea of letting the machine sit for a half hour before trying the program is interesting. Usually when I turn the laptop on it's because I mean to do something with it

, so I've never tried your suggestion. I will when I get a chance, because I agree that the results might be informative.
Thanks,
