I appreciate your answer. I needed the copy at THAT moment.(esp. since it worked before!).. I will eventually download/install it, but you understand what PRESSING needs are... cheers, and thanks for the program in the first place...

well I guess my >25 years of computer experience (as well as 15-20 yrs of unix/linux admin) is showing. fixed it myself. restarted machine, booted clean, looked at the settings menu and changed the following: General tab: turned of overburning Write: Graph Data: unchecked all together. (this alone might have done it!) cheers to all! and to all, a good night... (here;s to my new freenas box!) the log from last run is here: I 23:01:27 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

I have attempted to include a picture of my log and status screen... main image burn screen shows at bottom, that program when snapshot take had been running 29 minutes 2nd imageburn is a log shot. also running a long time Only clue is that the first image shows, on status line at bottom... creating graph data thread.... and that's the only output I have. I downloaded the file twice, and verified it was correct and the same size. Ideas? Suggestions? I've used the program before, and it worked great... Cheers... Ah, can finally edit, by using a web window instead of a vnc session. good. 2.5 hrs later, it is STILL running (hung!) and I have no idea why it dies on this specific file. I swear it's run before on ThIS machine without a problems.!!
