<DIV>Ours were Win Pcs. Our technician said that the exam was delayed for approximately 20 minutes because of the corrupt files. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It was very disruptive to our students who are mostly rural and had to arrange for transport anyway considering the already late starting time of the exam. He can't determine what happened, but he said that when he re-loaded the files onto the machines they worked the second time.</DIV>
