Thanx, cbell! as i said in the other thread
1 - Even though i only had one shortcut in the Startup folder, i found there were two links on the Start menu (Startup submenu) itself. I've deleted all of them now and start the companion s/w manually after connecting the iLiad.
2 - backup... pc to iLiad. The s/w does this automatically, i haven't set any settings.
3 - Without being interrupted in any way, it still stalls. For example just now the log shows:
Quote:

<iLiad> Backup of iLiad started

I have just wondered if this could be about space on the iLiad. I have had some files refuse to copy cos they are too big - fair enough - but also some say 'incorrect parameter' and i thought that could possibly be the same thing, with a different message for some reason.
i don't think anything else was going on in the background while i tried to merge. It worked the first time. I have just tried yet again - this time when i clicked on the folder containing the document (a subfolder i've made within 'books', named 'read+bin'), i have an error message that the folder read+bin is not accessible: I/O device error. Which reminds me i have been getting
I/O device error other times, increasingly often. I've also been getting freezes, where first the iLiad goes r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w, then if i persist through that, everything hangs. Not every time.
When i open the comp.s/w, the system tray icon has an exclamation mark on it and hovering over it shows 'A problem has been detected with an iLiad'. This is why i got into the computer name etc settings, which i now know i don't need for this.
4 - this is pdf scribble merging: [my document + the notes i've made in the margin] = [one document that i can view on the pc].
I was surprised to find you need to be a bit techie for the iLiad - they don't warn you before you buy - but i'm enjoying the learning curve. (As well as reading and relaxing!:lol
Glad i
am a bit techie, at least enough to find MobileRead - which was by chance.
Sorry to be so muddly; usually i'm a very analytical thinker; perhaps feeling hurried, cos of that review i've said i'll do, set me off wrong.
