I wasn't aware of that particular incident.

Not being an "expert" I would wonder if there was some issue with something in the architecture of your computer. Something that isn't compatible with something in the beta release. OR, another possibility. I was having an similar issue with my computer a while back and finally discovered that it was repaired by taking the memory sticks out of my computer and cleaning the sockets with a SOFT brush and a can of compressed air. It seems that a family of dust bunnies had taken up residence there and was causing an intermittent problem. Once they were evicted things worked fine. If you haven't opened the box lately and dusted things out, well, it is a possibility. OR, this could be a bug in the software that no one else has found yet. I don't know what the proper format for working with beta software is [ I try to stay as far from it as possible - Hell, as a general rule of thumb I wait a while when the final release version of something is released - I don't want to be anywhere near the bleeding edge ] but I think that would be the avenue to work out what the problem is. -- Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
