[Coco] mess HD problem

[Kip Koon]

Hi Bob!
I'll download the latest version of MESS and run it on my Windows 7 SP1
64-bit laptop and see how it goes.  I'll let you know the results as soon as
I find some room on my hard drive, download MESS, get it setup and do the
test.

Hi Kip,
I'm currently using MESSUI v0154 on Windows 8.1. I also have MESS v0152 set
up on KUbuntu. Both exhibit the same problem.
