Thanks guys.

Whichever battery I put in seems to charge fine, but yes, the backup battery must be dead. Battery setting says it's fine, but I can't think of another reason why it would hard reset on a simple battery switch.

What really throws me is my inability to reinstall programs. Just errors, freezes and hard resets (when I'm only attempting soft).

Appreciate the word on Sprite Backup. If I ever get thngs back to normal I'll be coughing up that money instantly.

If anyone has other ideas, keep 'em coming.

Thanks
Graham
