Octavio, My ProPic 2 Gold has always acted a little strange. It will work sometimes for 5 or 6 burns, but mostly the vdd light will stay on and ignore the software's request, sometimes all the lights dim and flucuate. I used to be able to exit the software between each burn and it would work, but not that sometimes won't work. I'm running Windows 98 on a PII 450, with software v2.97, and my unit is one of those in the black case. Have you ever heard of such things, and do you have a solution? Thanks John Craft John A.
