yikes, im having the same emplode problem now as well, emplode dosnt like emptriv running while it sync, if i close emptriv it syncs fine, i even put another RO command into my preinit and that still didt do it, i get this error when emptriv is running "Synchronize failed while checking media. Error 0xc0041010" i made hijack and empeg-preinit 755 in both /bin/ and /sbin/ ive messed with it minimal, but still nothing only way i can sync is to close emptriv, or take it out of the preinit and reboot.. *shugs* any ideas tony,

also thanks for being a champ thru all these emptriv questions it seem the program has gotten quite popular in the last few weeks, strange since its been out for so long.
