Any ideas why this won't write?

Windows Vista? Where did you install the client?

Are you a different Windows user than the one that installed it?

[NoLimitssjca]

Windows XP. Machine has been fine ans processing WU's for quite a while. I had it off for several weeks with the heat wave. When I brought it back online... it can't write.
