Russ,

What you need to do is load your files from the hard drive.

Basic rundown:

Use the "]" (right bracket) and "Tab" key to scroll through all 6 positions so they say Load File From Disk.

Hit the Tab key one more time to where it highlights the picture of the chip in the lower left corner then follow the instructions.

So it allows you to toggle between only the first position and the two icons on the bottom of the window?

Yeah, because even with no chip in my burner here, I am still able to toggle through all 6 slots. Something smells fishy.

I'll see if Bill has an idea.............................................. ..................
