Forgot to mention in my last posts.... One of the main reasons for this instability in my opionion is that NT's kernal has at least 36 function/method calls that don't check whether their aguments are valid. Therefore any bad pointer passed by the calling function/method can cause a fatal exception to the OS. www.ntinternals.com used to have detailed info NT's internal workings. Microsoft's lawyers made them remove that. They posted several 5 line C program that could crash NT and another that exploited the nasty processor affinity bug. Last I knew none of these had been fixed. The site still has lots of cool NT gadgets but not their real stuff like they used too... Sean Sean
