bugs in b2697 iPC merge fail & clock ?

Hi,
iPC, 2 x ELO 2216 Touchscreen, 1 x mini playback wing, keyboard, mouse
software: 8.5.1, v3.1.2, b2697

I have updated our iPC from v3.0.5 to v3.1.2 via 8.5.1 iso (full install). Library 4.1.13

The clock losing 1 hour everytime iPC is started is still there. Bios battery is ok! Timezone is set to GMT +8:00 Kuala Lumpur, Singapore.
This plays havoc with our automated system on & early hours auto playback changes, I had programmed it for an hour earlier than necessary, but if the operator forgets to put the clock right each night, the following day timing is missed, so I have taken this feature out of the programming.


I have loaded our old show. Show ok!
Time to merge shows!

Attempt 1a,b,c . . . !
I then created a new show with fixture library 4.1.50.
I tried to merge my existing show.
"Merge ok". Then, 'server busy' 'wait/cancel?' 'wait!' 2 times. Then screens went to iPC logo. 'pig open bkspace' showed desktop not responding. restart desktop.
Window open showing 'deleting temp files'. it finishes and iPC logos come up again, 'desktop not responding'
Merge has not happened.
Restart iPC, repeat process, same outcome.

Attempt 2a,b,c . . . !
I tried to merge the new library into my show from iPC 'libraries folder'.
iPC has window 'expanding d:\ . . . lib . .tar.gz' opens and proceeds to finish.
window closes and imediately replaced by window 'deleting d:\ . . .temp', it finishes and iPC logos come up. 'pig open show bkspc' shows 'desktop not responding', restart desktop is ok. merge has not happened.

This is repeatable with or without system restart.

Is this a bug? Or am I not doing merge correctly? I havent had much 'luck' with merging in the past, but never had it kill the software like this.

Regards,
Craig
