Well tried that, no is the answer. It would appear that my cards are too small, borrowed a 32 GB SanDisk with image installed and the bug**r works. 15 GB won't work... (too smalll...?  )

8 GB should be still enough.
Maybe you got fake SD cards that does not have the "advertised" capacity or are of very low quality.

8 GB thats what I was thinking, Only one card could be fake, a 16 GB Kingston the rest I bought through Amazon all 16 GB, a mix of Kingston & Sandisk, Also I did buy a Sandisk from PC World. All no Worky! Using a 32 GB Sandisk at work device boots!

Why do you think you won't get fake cards from Amazon?
But with such a bunch of cards it is less likely that all are fakes.
If you want to check them you can use the H2testw utility available on many freeware sites. It is developed by the German computer magazine c't (German project site link: H2testw | heise Download[^] ).

Maybe you just got some bad cards, or maybe there's some cruft in a partition table or something. Try running a badblocks write test on them and see what it reports.
Getting cards through Amazon isn't saying much -- in my book, that almost ensures they are fakes.

Along those lines, maybe it's actually the speed of the card? IIRC, there's two different kinds, and maybe depending on the clock speed of the rPi, it requires the faster version of the card?

And so an order from Amazon is made for RPi approved cards!

More than 16 gig for linux?
Where did you get the Pi image from, downloaded and built it yourself? If so use the build config UI to disable stuff you dont need. You should be able to get it to fit. Surely it cant be this big!

Same application mentioned below:
The app creates temporary folders, and for that, it needs admin priviledges according to Microsoft wisdom.
But I also wanted to do functionality where I could drag files from the Explorer and drop them on the application. And lo and behold: There's a bug in Visual Studio: The drop events are not fired[^] if the program is run as an admin.
No need to make programming and debugging simple. huh??? Say "Thank you Microsoft!"

Thanks. All I really wanted was to let out some steam, but help is most certainly appreciated all the same! 
Jochen Arndt wrote: That is not true when creating the folders in the right place.
No, but my problem is that I cannot control where the temp folders are placed (it's also more appropriate to call them backup folders than temp folders actually) - They are created as subfolders in the location where the file opened by the user resides (well, it's really only me, but you never know in the future) - Thus it can be anywhere on the hard drives, removeable media and/or network.

Interesting link. I'll have a closer look at that!

Why not use %USER_TEMP%?

Not an option. I'm sorry, I started out explaining poorly. The folder where the files to be processed resides may contain a lot of files. To avoid confusion, the processed files should be moved to a subdirectory when processed. And as said, these folders can be anywhere on the computer or network. So you see, it's not REALLY a temp folder. My bad that I said that from the beginning. Anyway, the subfolder should be in the work folder, I cannot start moving it somewhere completely different. That way the files may be mixed up and/or the user cannot find them.

Some months ago[^], I wrote a small application that can perform limited editing (to my needs and specifications) to PDF files.
Version 1.0 is ready and I've run and used it on several occasions without trouble.
Suddenly, yesterday, Malwarebytes decided that it was a backdoor bot and insists on blocking it! A program I've written myself that I KNOW for certain doesn't contain malware?!?!?!?
Well, I though, not to worry, I'll just tell Malwarebytes to ignore it! YEAH, RIGHT! Malwarebytes doesn't have such a feature! At least not one that works.
You can restore items from quarantine, but you cannot whitelist them. So next time you start the program again, it's quarantined again!
At last I found out how to whitelist the exe file, and I can start it. But when Malwarebytes is scanning my system, it STILL insists that it has detected a threat!
I wonder what the heck it is that triggers it? There are no keyboard or system hooks in the program. That can normally set it off, but not here.
At first I thought it was because I keep the source code on Dropbox (cheap hosting ) and launched the exe from there. But I have also installed it on the computer using a proper MSI installer, and that instance behaved exactly the same! 
I'm using 3rd party code, primarily Ghostscript and iText 7 (former iTextSharp), but they should be safe in my opinion, seeing that they are so widely used, and not likely to contain malware.
