Hi Michael, well i've used dir8.5.1 on winxp pro, on win2003 server standard (web and enterprise), winme, win98 and my current os is win2k. I must admit, this one has worse performance capabilites than those of xp. The problem you are describing in your first question is probably usual. I even have a 45 seconds delay in displaying the About window with the jumping character (btw don't know who is he). Well, just my one kopiyka pb [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
