I was having a lot of unexplained crashes and my rendering was taking twice as long as it does not. Althought I think this is due to the mess my computer was in. I also play with VB programming and as such I had 5 versions on my computer as well as a couple of DOS ones. Along with the remains of programs I had put on and taken off. When compiling a program for distrubution I was getting version conflicts. After all this I decided to reformat my drive and start again with a satble operating system. I am considering reputting ME back on but not just yet as all is running well. I liked ME when I had it. It booted faster for one thing. Don't let me put you off, my problems were locally caused. Have fun Neil
