I've not run on Win2k myself, but I'd imagine moving away from any of the Win 9x versions (95, 98, 98SE, and ME) will improve your situation greatly. -- Dario Alcocer -- Sr. Software Developer, Helix Digital Inc. alcocer@helixdigital.com -- http://www.helixdigital.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
