Hi all. We've been getting an error lately when opening PCDmis that valid armspecs can't be found. When asked to navigate to them, we select the Cimcore folder where the armdata and armdata.s6x folders are located, and we're told there's no valid armspecs in there. We select the folder with our backups of the armspecs and get the same message. If we shut down and restart the laptop a couple times, we are able to start PCDmis, and it informs us it was able to find armspecs... in the folder we were trying to direct it to. Anyone else get this problem, and what if any was the fix for you? I'm leaning towards a virus right now. We didn't have any antivirus software on it until a couple weeks ago. It wasn't networked and there wasn't much concern for protection. A dirty thumb drive was used on it and the laptop did seem a bit sluggish after. After that every thumb drive used on the laptop had it's autorun program halted and deleted by the AV software on our networked PC's. AV Software was installed on the laptop and it was cleaned. I'm going to be on that laptop again at the end of this week, and I'm going to try some TLC on it (defrag, Check the programs list, run an AV scan). I'd like to hear if anyone had a similar experience.

Your assessment sounds very reasonable to me. Let us know how it goes.
