That info matches mine. (You got a few extra nines in the filesize but I assume that is a typo.) And version number matches exactly.

That file is OK. If something had altered or replaced the file, the file size would surely be different.

So don't do anything with that file, that's not the problem. I'll look the other thing tomorrow.

No, that's normal, it's the way files are stored on a hard drive.

Suppose you store milk in gallon containers. Suppose you have 3 and a half gallons of milk. The answer to "How much milk do you have?" is "3 and a half gallons". The answer to "How much space is milk taking up in your fridge?" is "4 gallons" (because that 4th container takes up a gallon of space even though it is only half full of milk)

If anyone upgraded through Windows 95 to 98 and XP they will remember an option to refomrat the drive from "FAT32" to "NTSF". That change is a different way of storing data on the drive, one of the advantages is that the files are now stored in cups instead of gallon containers so there is less wasted space. Suppose you have:
1 quart of grape juice,
1 half gallon of orange juice,
1 quart of soda,
3 1/2 gallons of milk
and 1 pint of cream...
all stored in gallon containers.

That is a total of 7 gallons of fridge space, for 4.625 gallons of liquid... more than 3 gallons of wasted fridge space.

If we switch storing everything in quart containers we now use 9 quart containers for 18.5 quarts of liquid, with only a half gallon of wasted space... 1/4 gallon wasted as opposed to more than 3 gallons wasted.

If you have tons of small files on your hard drive then a lot of your drive space is wasted. The NTFS format reduces the amount of space wasted.

Did I do my math right? If its wrong you still get the idea. You may have to replace some of my "quart to gallon" dll recipe cards in the filebox.
