Hi, Thanks to both Lanman and Charlie. I'll leave the installation as completed and just watch for inconsistent behaviour.

I don't know why that wouldn't have been the default though. You can try it if you like, but... In your case; PIV 3.2 GHz processor = multi processor to the installer, because of the hyper threading capabilities.. Or that's probably the case anyway. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I meant: I don't think you need do anything Bill.
