Looks like Dmitri saved me, the software didn't get the information from the driver, but everything else was working fine. I did the manual route for the snapshots and all works great. Thank you all. I should have tested with other tools first. I am running Stock RH 7.2 and just the basics. P233 MMX ATI Mach64 Based 2Mb Video Card ASUS Motherboard of some type. The good news, It works. I am happy about that. But the USB driver is Slow to respond. I'll have to look into why, and how to increase the size.
