Wow! Why does TB! take so long to shut down. Do you run compress on exit or other similar maintenance operations on exiting TB!? Additionally, wouldn't archiving prevent some of your misery? I know the benefits of keep the messages together, but you seem to be reaching a point of greatly diminishing returns where your message bases are becoming large, unwieldy and pushing hardware and OS integrity to their limits. If you lose data in these situations, it's not surprising and very frequent backups should be the norm. Archiving would greatly assist with more frequent backing up. -- -= Curtis=- Using TB! v3.60.02 Forerunner (Beta) System Specs: http://specs.aimlink.name =-=-= ...Remember, Subaru spelled backwards is U-R-A-BUS. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
