I have no clue. I tried running it on my system. Everything slowed down, the root turned black, it continually printed error messages, menus wouldn't clear when they displayed. When I moved the mouse to the screen edge, the pointer changed as it should but it didn't look like it scrolled. I can't use the system while it's running, so I don't think I can find out much more. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
