Here is the latest I have tried:

Disabled FD Drive in BIOS.

When FD Drive is disabled Retrospect 6.5 seems to load properly from
CD BUT after reboot the computer freezes on trying to "Configure Retrospect"
.. Ctl-Alt-Del does not work and I have to turn off power and come up again.

When FD Drive is disabled and Retrospect 6.5 is opened, initial
screen comes up but computer "freezes" and Ctl-Alt-Del shows "Retrospect Not
Responding".

When FD Drive is disabled it is impossible to remove Retrospect
using Add/Remove Programs from under Control Panel. Program removal
"freezes" part way through and Ctl-Alt-Del does not work. Only solution to
get out of this one is to turn off power and come up again
?????????????????????????????

All other programs load properly and computer functions very well
EXCEPT for trying to use Retrospect. The FD Drive continues to "hunt" when
trying to run Retrospect. If it is disabled, Retrospect doesn't like it . .
..

Any other ideas will be greatly apprciated ! ! !

I have tried uninstalling Retrospect Express 6.5 numerous times after
trying
various options. So far it still causes the floppy drive to hunt with a
big
"grunt" or just run intermittently when a blank disk is inserted . . .

Have you tried completely removing Retrospect and then reinstalling? I
have
assumed so, but it never hurts to ask.

Removed all references to "a" as indicated - Didn't solve problem.
Floopy runs intermittently with a blank disk in drive - 3 seconds
ON, 1
second OFF.
Disabled all of Find Fast - Didn't help.
Ran MRU Blaster - Didn't work.

I anyone has any more ideas they will be greatly appreciaated.
TIA

Ron,

Sorry, I meant to get back to you sooner, but I got lost on the way.

First thing I think you should try is to delete all references to the
A:\
drive
in the Registry using REGEDIT (StartRunREGEDIT). Go to Edit menu,
Find,
and
search only for Data and enter "a:\" (a-colon-backslash). Delete any
Registry
values you find with data that starts with "a:\"

If that doesn't do it, then I'll load Retrospect to see what I can
see.
Oh, and
what happens if you put a blank floppy into the drive before opening
Retrospect?

Floppy starts seeking as soon as Retrospect Express 6.5 is opened.
I've
been round & round with dantz software on this one and they have
been
no
help.
TIA
