Problem solved (so it seems so far). I updated my drivers on my video/graphic card and I updated my drivers on my motherboard. I got all that from www.nvidia.com b/c my board is nforce4 (for amd) and my graphic card is a nvidia 6200 turbocache. I also updated my IDE drivers with the link I posted above. By updating these 3 drives I was able to restore CloneDVD2 to its original working condition. (Thus far). Try this out and see what happens. Holler.
