I've also run out of space on my hard drive this way, but I've never had any real problems. I occationally get bad files, but I think it's strictly the swap file and TGA files (it happens generally when I RESET out of POV). They always clean up fine with Norton. There was a problem I had twice, but I don't know if POV was involved. One sector (same one twice) of my root directory got trashed, and I had to go into Norton and do some repairs by hand, but no data was lost. According to your description, it sounds like *something* in the DOS enviroment was at fault. Even an out of control program isn't supposed to get easy access to those areas. $0.02 signed, Not-A-DOS-Expert <G> Read action !
