I managed to reformat my laptop in NTFS even though I still have two partitions one of 2 Gigas and the other of 16, so I installed on the larger one and generated the report without difficulty.I am now transfering the result back to my PC which is still in Fat32 inspite of having run "convert" several times without success.

I tried it and it took me a while to understand that the brackets [] had to be removed.I was then told that "convert could not get permission and asked if I wanted to convert at the next start up which it seemed to do but the harddrive didn't change. I have done it 3 times now and C: is still Fat32

Thanks for this help.I was busy trying to sort out my laptop and have managed to put XP on the bigger partition in NTFS and formatted the 2Giga partition but I have not yet been able to combine C and H. I will now try your suggestion.

For some reason when I ran convert.exe a small Dos window opened and closed again straight away without doing any thing !?  The utility Convert.exe runs in a command prompt. What you need is open a command prompt (DOS) window and type "Convert /?" which will give you the options. C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel>convert /?
Converts FAT volumes to NTFS.CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] [/CvtArea:filename] [/NoSecurity] [/X] volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
/FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume is to be converted to NTFS.
/V Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose mode.
/CvtArea:filename
Specifies a contiguous file in the root directory to be
the place holder for NTFS system files.
/NoSecurity Specifies the converted files and directories security
settings to be accessible by everyone.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid. C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel> |

I have at last got my old computer working again and don't fancy starting all over again to format it as NTFS. 
You can convert from FAT to NTFS without having to reformat. Windows has a tool for "formatting" NTFS while keeping all your data. By the way, in 2001 I converted from FAT to NTFS on a server using a remote terminal.You can use the Windows utility Convert.exe to convert FAT to NTFS.

Yes it is Fat 32 as, when I had all my crashes, I had to format several times whilst waiting for my new computer and hadn't thought there would be a problem. (The last time I made a report it was only 11000 names.)  I have at last got my old computer working again and don't fancy starting all over again to format it as NTFS. I will check my old laptop to see if it is in NTFS though it is in bad shape as well with erroneous partitions after contamination. Effectively, when I generate smaller reports even with my customised skin, I have no problems.  :

Oh, this is interesting. Is your harddrive formatted NTFS or FAT32? I think FAT32 is limited to 16,384 files per folder.

We will investigate this error. Sometimes a server may flush a session while GenoPro is publishing, thus "loosing" the connection.
