    Akahn My guess is that they'll have you go into options and enable tracing, have you crash the desktop and send them the trace file to see why it is doing it. Or you could just do that.

        Thank you...will give it a try tomorrow.  My Virtual Memory is very low as it is currently configured.  I have to let our IT department make the change though.  We'll see tomorrow.

         

        Thanks again!
