It hardly ever crashes. Of course if you do not know how to tame it Redmond keeps changing it with those nasty automatic updates. One a couple of months ago changed the look and feel on me. I shall have to go back and reload XP from the CD on this machine with updates turned off, I guess.
Just to put my position in perspective here, Cory, I have been running Slackware since 0.9. graywolf ======== I am very selective about which updates I install. In fact, I've turned the automatic updates warning thing off. Most are for plugging holes in Outlook (which I don't use) to prevent viruses anyway. Marnie aka Doe
