Joe and Gopher, When Windows went to 32 bits, wasn't most of the code still 16 bit? Then they cleaned up portions of it with each future release? Try this, open MS Word, do help/About, then click system info, at the bottom select active modules. You'll notice a column called 16-bit, double click on it to sort. You can also get there by finding and running MSinfo32.exe (this wasn't on my computer though?) There's a whole mess of 16-bit code still, mostly graphics stuff. IMHO, 64-bit Windows does not even make sense on a server. It will be so unstable and servers need to be reliable. I expect the Linux community to come up with something far more useful. Just my 2 cents... chic
