The List, Well, there aren't many of us running XP just yet out there! I did receive the one following reply to my question, however, from David Hoehne. Thanks Dave. Your experience is enlightening and promising. Hope this helps some of you out. Now at least I'm not so weary of purchasing a new machine with an XP preload (save for having to update the anti-virus software). ======================= I've been running AV 3.2a for about two weeks on a pre-loaded Gateway with no problems. In fact, none of my apps except our accounting software have failed to run including some notably finicky titles like form Z and Terramodel. We knocked the interface back to a Win2K classic from the Luna stuff. I don't know if that makes any difference at all, but it sure makes it easier to find things ;-) David J.
