( EISA is preferred ) Alpha: ? SCSI or IDE Drives? ( SCSI is preferred ) WinNT 4.0 Beta or Commercial? ( Commercial is preferred--well actually... ) These choices can drastically affect WindowsNT 4.0. You appear to have enough memory--I've got 48MB of memory and it runs fine with the OWGS from the LiveWire Pro version from Netscrape. The problem appears to be with NT more than with Informix. If you can, reinstall the OWGS or NT again. A registry entry may have not been updated correctly, regarding NT memory or OWGS. NT is the science of reinstall unfortunately... I upgraded memory and lost the system, had to reinstall NT. If you have more than one drive, split your page file across at least two drives. ( Partitions may help too, but don't know ) Hope this can help... :-) -- Tim Schaefer \\\\|// tschaefe@mindspring.com (6 6) ------------------------oOOo---( )---o00o--------- Liberty: http://www.lp.org Informix: http://www.iiug.org --------------------------------------------------
