I'm going to take Larry's advice on this one. I did see your comments in the issues re not able to reproduce. Unfortunately, with these kinds of situations -- OS differences, levels of OS patching difference, etc. -- it's a tough call. What I will say is that there have been SOME issues with using 64-bit Oracle Java on 64-bit Windows, the problems are NOT consistent, and may, in fact, be due to extension problems with some advice on how to troubleshoot. I woudl not make a blanket statement that ALL Windows users should only use 32-bit Java. So, stay tuned. I'll do what I think is reasonable, and hopefully not point fingers exclusively at AOO 3.4. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "I would rather have a donkey that takes me there than a horse that will not fare." -- Portuguese proverb
