Microsoft support finally fixed it, but: they come with a new OS and their own products don't work-jeeeeez !!) Jurgen, not an expert by any means but sounds like you have hardware problems. I am running Win98 on 3 machines with Access and no problems whatsoever. I have QP2 installed on a "Removable" Harddrive that I carry from my lake house (win98 machine) to my regular home (win95) machine to my office (win98 machine) and it runs the same on all of them. Sounds like MS software to me..... Most folks don't realize how poor their archecture truely is...... So many things are totally exposed to the configuration of dll's that are constantly being replaced by unweildy applications. Its aamzing it works as well as it does. One of these days they might actually fix it. Here at work they had to re-install the OS on our Main Primary Domain Controller because the machine had become unstable. I sat in my office chuckling as I read the notice thinking in 10 years of using unix I have never once re-installed the OS to solve app problems or even heard of anyone resorting to it. Yet in the windows world, its a common occurence. Oh well.... BTW: Doesn't sound like a hardware problem. you dell came with diags you can run to verify your hardware. chances are it will check out OK. Sean
