Seems so - I had to uninstall Beagle from all my and my friends machines because it was just killing the CPU - making the interface sluggish at best. Must add - this is the Beagle version on the 10.2 DVD - I havent tried installing and updating to latest version. Google Desktop has been running for 2 days now - I havent noticed. But the indexing is a bit weird - jumping around 20% - 12% - 50% etc E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
