Under the GA (first) version it caused some kind of protection error (can't remember the wording) and I had to reboot. After installing the service pack, SL generated a very large number of print jobs -- before I killed it. No success. So... I dual-boot to DOS 5.0 and run it there. BTW, SimCity and SimAnt run jes fine under the Great and Mighty Oz. -- ----------------------------+---------------+------------------------- J Hesse | END | California jhesse@netcom.com | 50 MPH | traffic Moss Beach, Calif | SPEED LIMIT | sign ----------------------------+---------------+-------------------------
