Actually, I haven't had a problem on WinXP Pro. I installed CFMX with U3 on my laptop which runs WinXPPro with a whole bunch of software and security patches, including McAfee AntiVirus Online installed, along with 30 Gigs of other junk, and it works great. I use it as a development/demo system. -- Josh Trefethen .:::::[ Exciteworks, Inc ]::[ http://exciteworks.com ]:::::. .::[ cf hosting on linux ]::[ consulting ]::[ expertise ]::. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 7:27 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Quick note from the CF Team.... > > > NO Dave, thanks for your offer, its very generous.
