I concur with Frank. I would go further to say don't use Windows XP Home.

My guess is that you'd be able to do what you want if you were on W2000 or XP. Just my opinion.

All I want to do is set some target regions and split, combine, or erase with other selected regions. All these polygons are part of the same layer! I thought that I had too many objects set target, I tried setting just one and cropping it with just one other polygon. It did it again! At this point I gave up, there is no way I could split those regions. Any ideas?? Thanks a bunch!
