    I’m sorry if this is not the proper place to post this but I am having some trouble with AJA System Test. The program does not seem to test any of my drives. I have never had any trouble with it before but all of a sudden when I click start, it just doesn’t run the test. It looks like it’s going to but then the start button just instantly goes back to start. No graph, no text, no nothing. Even weirder though is that every time I click start, the software does in fact leave a file on the disk that I’m testing… it just stays there on its own until I manually delete it. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the software. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Quick addition to that… It appears that it will run a test on a disk connected via USB only. I was able to run a test on my USB Flash drive, but Firewire drives, e-SATA and even my internal drive are having no response besides what is mentioned above. Again, thank you very much for all of your help and advice!

    Try trashing the System Test Prefs. Make sure you quit the program first.
