Re: [guide-user] Saving Mark Destroyed Installation.

Denis Dec 21, 2010

Download the latest(Oct) from this site,
http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm

After this update, go and open the startup.mar file with notepad to see
if all data lines are in it. There has been an instance when shutting
down windows with Guide running has caused the MAR file to go blank.

I keep a backup of the startup.mar just in case.
