David and Tomasz,
Thanks for the info. After nearly chucking my computer out the
window tonight, I've decided it's time to upgrade. I needed a good
excuse, and this is it. I couldnt even get into Yahoo earlier
tonight and system performance has been gradually bogging down. I
did run scan disk and defrag and things are looking much better now,
but.....I'd be embarrased to tell you what computer system I'm trying
to run Amibroker with. I'll get up into the 700 Mhz range and that
should take care of that problem (although I sure wont look forward
to transferring the entire hard drive over to a new computer).
Thanks again.
Larry
