Sue, You can check for problems on the hard drive by opening My Computer and right clicking on the C:\ drive and choose Properties. In the Properties windows choose the Tools tab. Next click on Check to run a scan on the drive. Depending on the version of Windows you are running the options may vary but you want to find and fix errors. Note that you will have to schedule this and then reboot your computer to perform the check. This will take anywhere from a few minutes up to an hour. If the above doesn't help you might want to provide the specs of your computer including: version of Windows, amount of RAM, HD size, free HD space, size of you TMG database and location of where your TMG project is stored.

I opened the sample project and it has the same problem. My computer is scanned for viruses every week and it has just done that and all is OK. Thanks for trying to help.
