RnRWoman: 1.5 GIG of RAM should be the Problem ... I have had the same problems that apps getting slow with that High RAM. I have reduced it to 1 GIG and all works fine again. On which OS you are? Win2K or WinXP or 98 ? for Win2K and WinXP I can say that it is only able to adress 1 GIG of RAM ... maybe thats the problem. I havn't got an answer from M$ for it but I think they are busy ... my mail is only 7 months old :) Chris
