Fred,

What version of EMC are you using? Did you use the
BDI Disk? The early version of the BDI had a bad
problem with locking up but that has been fixed.

When you start emc, where do you start it from?
do you click on an icon on the desktop or start from
a command line? By starting it from the command line
you will see some error messages if EMC does not
start.
