Who was you rdealer, what system did they put on it, and what board do you have.
Hand what drives are you running?

True. Most bugs are due to the wide verity of systems out there. It took me a long
time to get the first systems up and running bug free. I will admit there are some
major small bugs (the boris effects bug seems to be poping up). But again any
system will have these bigs (includeing MC 9000) You should have seen the fuss when
7.0 came out.

Your right, there are problems, and I will admit Nt is not perfect, but it is
cheap.If I had a choic I would buy an Xpress, but they is also 20K differance.
