I would look for errors, figure out what was causing them, mostly being config issues in my case, and then fix them and try again. It really paid to sort of dig into that file and try to look closely at every warning message along with the more obvious error (EE) messages. I also got help on the same ATI list you were pointed out. Very helpful fol= ks. Good luck, Mark
