Thanks Denny, I had already checked this link, unfortunatly for step 1 I don't have the same program and when trying the other option when I try to clear all memory area and click on Initialize I get the infamous "Can't initialize the memory are" error. Thanks for your time and help! Carlos. 2017-06-13 16:19 GMT-04:00 Denny Esterline : > This may help.
