To me CSS stands for "cascading style sheets" so I'm not going to be of any help to you in solving your slow down and stop problem. However I will mention one thing that will likely haunt you once you do get the other bugs ironed out. If you are really using the xxcopy syntax of: xxcopy C: N: /CLONE You are asking for a disaster to take place one of these days, as that is one of the most dangerous ways to use xxcopy. To learn why, read technical bulletin #22 available at: http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy22.htm John
