I've not crashed my XP system since I got it... Locked up bryce 5 only a few times, but that could also be my lack of patience :::sheepish blush grin:::: The ONLY complaint I have is that the damn thing won't let you use the task bar at the bottom without first minimizing it totally. It's a known flaw and Neither Corel or MS have any intentions of doing a service patch. So it'll be fixed in Bryce 6. Other than that, C'est manifique!
