Just cruisin' some old messages! I agree w/you about the applications possibility for causing the crash, instead of the kernel being at fault, and that NT protects itself pretty well. The problem that I see is that there a multitude of people that are continuously 'attacking' the operating system, trying to see if they can 'hack' in and create problems. On the one hand, it makes the producer work to make the software more 'robust' and prevent these kinds of attacks resulting in a 'better operating system' for all of us, yet on the other hand until the 'holes' are plugged there is certainly a lot of 'negative' press! Nothing checks the software 'paths' like the public! It is easy to 'condem' code that another has written, especially when you remember that 'Nothing is too tough for the person that doesn't have to do it!' Have a great day! Ken
