Thanks for the quick response & no insult taken since I also have been using LV for a few months. I dont have a wait function because I would like the system to run as fast as possible. I'll try adding a wait function to see what it does with resources. However, like i said, windows is telling me that 50% of my resources are free under normal operation but LV is slow. Only when the system thinks I am going to change something on the FP, does LV increase it's usage to ~98%.
thanks again.
