It sounds like you may have a disk problem. There are utilities to save the MBR and create disk images. These are useful to have whether you use Mathcad or not. I would definitely not recommend 2001i. If you have purchased Mathcad 13, you are entitled to support. Have you contacted Mathsoft for help?

I had a similar problem with MCAD 12, especially the requests for re-verification. I was never able to determine a cause for it and finally I re-installed 2001i, which I have been using ever since to my full satisfaction. (I am running XP PRO on my system.)
Although I have purchased version 13, I will definitely not install it (unless someone threatens physical violence) for fear of encountering the same problems. Your experience obviously proves me right.

With best regards,

Product Reviews

"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas

"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, itís easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. Thereís very little I canít do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
