After two hours of trying to solve the compile problem (with PBP2.60) I posted my question and turned off the computer for lunch. On return I read DT's comment and tried again. This time it worked (which now concerns me). Man, Darrel your good! I have no idea what happend beside loosing two hours. I guess the hard drive has polterbytes. Thanks again guys for your comments, and yes it is a Canon. I'll give the site a look.
