Load Linux. :) Just kidding... ...I would look at maybe trying to increase the memory on the box, 350 MB for Win2K is not much and Win2K will use at least 2/3rds of that just for fun. I would try and push the customer to get a bigger server, use the excuse that PIII are no longer supported and a PIV or Athlon are very cheap now days. At least 512 MB or a 1GB of RAM would be advisable... ...not for tomcat but for the OS that can be very resource intensive when it feels like it. Or, disable all services that are not required on the machine, this sometimes help. > Thanks Q -- Quinton Delpeche Internal Systems Developer Softline VIP Telephone: +27 12 420 7000 Direct: +27 12 420 7007 Facsimile: +27 12 420 7344 http://www.vippayroll.co.za/ "In any world menu, Canada must be considered the vichyssoise of nations -- it's cold, half-French, and difficult to stir." -- Stuart Keate
