Thanks guys, Well I haven't lost any data that I know of. And after removing some of my Bryce stuff and saving it to a disk I can run bryce again. But it won't finish opening the abstract. I can only hope that its still fine and that it will work on the new pc. It doesn't give any error messages and sometimes it opens to a point where I see the stuff, so I think its just too much for this pc. Erlik, I changed the virtual memory. It was set for unlimited. When I checked the option to set it myself, the default was 1334 or something close to that. I got chicken and set it to 300, I suppose that it should be some weird number for a reason, because you said to set it to 192. Aha, just got it 1.5 x 128 = 192. Does it matter that I've got a weird #? If so I'd better go in and change it again. Take care
