Second Copy can crash with a fatal error message due to a corrupt log.rtf file. Remove this file and run scandisk.
Second Copy 7 stores its log entries in a file called log.rtf under "\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Centered Systems\Second Copy" folder. (where, <Username> is the currently logged in username.)
