Blame can start with the author of the OS. They should have designed it so that your 3rd party software *can't* crash the system, only itself. The task is harder for PC's than pretty much any other class of computer, though, given the high variety of hardware they have to account for. That and the fact that they often paint themselves into a corner with backward compatibility issues. -- Matt _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
