That may fix it.. I will try tonight..
But it's obvoiusly not much of a solution in the long term!

The laptop has 320Mb of Ram.. I tried setting the Virtual memory to 50mb a few months ago.. W2k kept on increasing it automatically whenever I did something strenuous (Like open Word and VFP at the same time :)

I may have to go to one of these Operating System forums and see if there are any Guru's there

Thanks Cetin
