Ally, your observation that Win98 is solid and WinXP crashes often is the opposite of what I have observed and read about. If WinXP crashes often, there are probably some other issues with that computer. Gottfried

I think you probably have some other problem on your PC.. I have XP Pro, dual monitors, have any given time 5-6 Explorer windows, couple of Javabased Trading screens (with streaming quotes) etc. open.. Over a year since I have had this machine, I have had blue screen may be twice..

I just got a new computer with XP loaded on it, and I'm not impressed. My old one with WIN98 seems to run faster even though the new one has a much faster processor. Perhaps it's because I don't know how to set the "swap disk memory" in XP. In 98 I don't let win manage my disk swap, Where Win changes the size of it when Win thinks it needs more. I set it the same MIN as MAX and defeat the changing size thingy.. I don't see how to do that with XP.. ---- I'm about to blow XP off my new set and install the old Win 98, at least I'm use to it. Any ideas ? Jim
