(BTW, I am a new subscriber to this >>newsgroup) >Welcome to the group! What type of system do you have? Any other apps >crashing on your system? >Joe Morris I had a similar problem on my system. I had a 386 33Mhz with 8 Meg of RAM. 4 of which came with the system and another 4 I bought later. It turned out that the first 4 Meg was 80ns and the second 4Meg was 70ns. When you have 2 different speeds of RAM the faster RAM has to be first followed by the slower RAM. That solved my problem and it never crashed again. Regards, Darren Pike
