An example... I ran the disk optimiser, It said that the disk was 9% not fragmented, It took around half an hour to optimise, After it had finished I ran the optimiser again, It said 8% not fragmented. Also it locked up a lot when booting. I realise I didn't give it a fair run, but I'll stick to Win3.1 for the odd task switching I want to do. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Peter Collins email: coll...@kai.ee.cit.ac.nz | | call my raytracing home page at: http://www.ee.cit.ac.nz/~collinpe | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
