If you have lots of real RAM, allocate a RAM Disk and point Explorer's cache there. If not, set the cache size DOWN to 1MB or even 0 (Zero) MB's. IE's cache is very handy for a dial up connection, but is often slows down processing when running with a high speed connection. -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?" You have to recognize that every out-front maneuver you make is going to be lonely. But if you feel entirely comfortable, then you are not far enough ahead to do any good. That warm sense of everything going well is usually the body temperature at the center of the herd. --John Masters -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
