    Then you have buggy software on your system. Maybe from shareware junk or spyware. There is no reason for W2K to run out of resources on it's own. Pull up process monitor and see who isn't releasing their physical mmemory or handles. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

              I'm using Win98se for developing in VC, and it crashes rarely (it is running 24hrs/day, i'm restarting it average once per week). When i had that HW resource wasting "OS" W2K, it was crashing more often, even when copying CD, for example. NT systems does not suck less than W98 (best M$ OS ever)

                    In my experience Win2k is the best OS Microsoft has released so far. Win98 - useless, no memory management at all. Win95 and Win98 (I havent used WinME) lack on "garbage collection". A simple memory waster application would bring Win9x to its knees, where as with win2k that doesn't happen. When application exists, Win2k claims that memory back continues running normally. That's my experience anyway... :) Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)

IT seems everyone has a hard time but me. Don't get me wrong, XP is great. XP has only crashed once with me, and I was trying to install 5 apps at once to get things going on a reinstall. So my fault, I guess. However I do find that VS.NET crashes about once every two days with me, especially when saving CSS and ASPX files to a web server. I blame that more on VS.NET than XP. Also I am running XP on a machine which could do with a bit more of a kick (PIII 400mhz, 256 ram) and I tend to load a lot of stuff at once to get my job done. All in all I am happy with XP, it does what it says and it is a great experience, cool UI. Just it is not as stable as W2K which never fell over with me on the same machine. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.
