I've had my windows NT system up for more than a month without a single problem. I have more than 80 IE instances open (queued up to read when I get a round tuit). No problems, no viruses, no malware, no spam, no popups, no etc. And I still haven't used more than half of my RAM. I've several visual studios open, Visual basic, dozens of emails I haven't responded to yet, winamp, and so much more and not a single problem. I've only occasionally reached the hard OS limit on window handles (12,000+). _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
