RIGHT ! LST not LOG - the locked file driver reads the LST file at bootup to see what it has to do (it's pure text with commands like delete this file, copy this file to here etc.) When TCPCFG2 starts up, it simply looks and if that file is there, says it can't load as the updates haven't happened. If however the updates have failed (possibly because tjose exe and sys files were not found as they were not where they should be) the LST files stays until you manually delete it. Cheers/2 Ed.
