    I have faced some weird problems with retina too. I
    stoped one scan before it can complete (abort option)
    and since then retina became unusable. As soon as I
    start Retina on my test machine now it show in the
    status bar *Processing Records ####* and it goes on
    processing records.. i dunno how many max records it
    will process but i have seen it going @ 18xx records
    and after that the program becomes non-responding and
    i have to kill the task. I don;t seem to like this new
    5.x version... i loved 4.x series.

    Though in any of the cases it did not harm the local
    machine just the box it was running from.

    Regards
