It has silently closed here (XP) several times.  But, before  
that happens, my system (MemInfo 3.43) reports "Low memory".

One of the latest crashes/closures did something to prevent me  
from putting my XP to Sleep.  Had to do a hard shutdown [hold  
power button until powers off] :(

Good to know.  I just let it pick the default c:\Program Files  
location for the first install.

Haven't looked at those.  I just took the one that you pointed  
to originally.

Indeed.. I think page renderings to seem faster. But I thought  
that was because it was still a fresh install and not much is  
queued up in temp/history/cache files.
