"That started when Acronis True Image 8.0 did a total wipe out of my system. It also wiped "Restore"".....I can't imagine under what circumstances that could have happened. I've been using Acronis True Image versions 6 through 8 for what seems like ages and it has never let me down. Performs flawlessly and I wouldn't be without it.Also, a previous poster mentioned WinRescue XP. This is another great little utility and in the days of Windows 98 proved to be a life saver on many occasions. I still use the XP version on a regular basis for system backups but have never needed to use it to recover. Just makes me feel that little bit more secure ;)Mike

I have now read the original post on the BEV forum (wasn't available at the time of my previous post), and the poster does know what he is talking about - my appoligies for claiming otherwise.The problem is Tony not understanding what the poster was saying - apparently thinking C++ and C# they are equal alternatives, not realizing that C# was specifically designed to fix the problems in C++ (stability, development time, security).

No. They ARE from .NET. The exact same thing happened to me. The only change I had made in my system was adding BEV. If I then uninstalled BEV and .NET, the problem went away. Reinstall BEV (which automatically reinstalled BEV) and I had the problem again. By the fourth time even someone as slow as I am saw the connection.

For an old man (in programming sense) like me I failled to see the bennefits in a VM or any new language that I can't see why is better than C++. Allways look in to a VM as "nice thing to hide bugs". Bear with me since I started in Assembly still look to classes as some nice struct where I can put functions, is always thinking in terms of heap management and find driver or ditectx development much more interesting than a GUI.Jos

Hi Lars,I'm certainly not a programmer. :) I was just trying to say that at this point if we use NET we will come under criticism from some folks and if we don't use NET we will have others that say we should have. I'm not trying to debate the merits of the two arguments.Tony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]

>For an old man (in programming sense) like me I failled to>see the bennefits in a VM or any new language that I can't see>why is better than C++. Allways look in to a VM as "nice thing>to hide bugs". Eh.... I do not get it... If there is one thing a VM does, it is detecting bugs. For example an index out of range. I will rather see a nice dialog from the friendly VM telling me I am stupid, instead of the program simply grepping some random bytes from the heap and crunching on with possible fatal data corruption.For better than C++... last I checked C++ did not have reflection, attributes, properties, etc... Life is way too short to do without as the productivity is too low if you do not have it. I have too many unfinished projects as it is, no need to extend the programming time per project as I'll still start a new one every two weeks :)>>Bear with me since I started in Assembly still look to classes>as some nice struct where I can put functions, is always>thinking in terms of heap management and find driver or>ditectx development much more interesting than a GUI.Unlike me who used to program assembly, hates GUI programming, and program DirectX now and then? Can't say I can be bothered about drivers though - did it once, too much work debugging so it ended up as another unfinished project.But I guess we are getting a bit off topic. :)
