Hi,

My current Windows 3.11 system seems to 
have corrupted somehow !?! 
Everytime I boot up Windows I get the 
following message:

	Program-group file 
'C:\WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP' is invalid or
	damaged. Recreate the group.

The program-group seems to vary randomly, 
i.e. it's not always the
MAIN.GRP. I can't seem to find anything 
wrong with my progman.ini file:

[Settings]
Window=7 3 708 500 1
display.drv=SVGA256.DRV
Order= 2 5 3 4 8 6 11 10 7 9
AutoArrange=1
MinOnRun=1

[Groups]
Group1=C:\WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP
Group2=C:\WINDOWS\SB16.GRP
Group3=C:\WINDOWS\NETWORK.GRP
Group4=C:\WINDOWS\GAMES.GRP
Group5=C:\WINDOWS\STARTUP.GRP
Group6=C:\WINDOWS\APPLICAT.GRP
Group7=C:\WINDOWS\AUTOCAD.GRP
Group8=C:\WINDOWS\DELRINAW.GRP
Group9=C:\WINDOWS\DELPHI.GRP
Group10=C:\WINDOWS\WASOCK.GRP
Group11=C:\WINDOWS\SUPERVOI.GRP

I also ran a few checks on my hard disk 
with no result. Can anybody 
think of a reason why these errors keep 
showing up ??
