The performance monitor in Windows 9x sucks. Perhaps you can find a better one on the Net? I will look and ask around to see if there is one. You might want to ask the question in OSDEBATE. Don't let the name fool you. There are some Microsoft developers that take part in that echo. There are also some very knowledgeable users/developers there. They may be able to better assist you. You might also drop a message in WIN95. Dale .... Bother! said Pooh, as he fried Piglet for breakfast. --- FTNed 2001 Build 0040-RC1/Win2k * Origin: http://www.HarborWebs.com:8080 (1:379/1) .
