There is a program that can set the quanta for programs... let me find that durned thing... Aha. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/frob.shtml Good old sysinternals... they have the neatest tools. Apparently that's just for NT4 machines (I think...). For Win2K (and presumably XP?), they have another page that tells you about the settings on there, and to wait for a new version of Frob that works with win2k. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/nt5.shtml Aaron _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
