nice scientific way to reach a conclusion... "QC crashes on me, therefore it must crash on the whole user base". as long as there is one single person where that doesn't apply (i use QC and it doesn't crash), that means your conclusion is invalid. so search for causes elsewhere. QC might crash on you as a CONSEQUENCE of some other software problem, lack of resources, or whatever. the QC crashes you experience then could be the EFFECT of something else and not the CAUSE. if i light a fire inside a BMW and the car explodes, would you say that "this BMW exploded, therefore all BMWs explode"? ;-) ___ <<No I am not missing the point. I run plenty of ram, W2K, defrag, scandisk, ping plotter etc etc etc etc and the damned app locks up! That is a fact of life whether you like it or admit it or not.>>

I may be obtuse -- he could well be right, Monty. I'm too obtuse to know whether I'm obtuse. I just figure better obtuse than obsessive. I'll bet Michael Phillips could have come up with a new beta that didn't crash with Win98, 128 RAM, etc. Anyway, you'd better defrag and run scandisk, and deactivate everything that runs at startup, and uninstall any antivirus programs -- oh, and rush out and buy every new version of Windows that comes down the pike, to keep QC, Bill Gates, and beta developers and tech. support at yours TRLY happy. Dedicate a machine to QC only, too. Some obsessions become obsessive compulsive. Software that runs only on perfect systems -- I'm sure Quote.com would be comfortable with that assessment of QC. Compatibility? Nah? Why bother?
