Thanks to those who offered to assist. Of course I did expect at least one
"it's your fault" response.

First of all, I am very careful about what I run in he background. I'm a
tidy nut. I usually have nothing running in the BG.
The OS is Win XP-SP2. The processor is a AMD2600+ with 512 of RAM. I have
about 100G of HD space.
FP2003 is an upgrade from FP2000.

What other applications do I have. Many...but none are running in the BG.

I was not running PWS.

And I know.... yanking the plug out is no help..but I have been so
frustrated, it's surprising I didn't fling the whole CPU at the wall!

Thanks to Steve..I will try his suggestion.

I STILL didn't get an answer regarding the fact that I bought and paid for
something that doesn't work. Why do software suppliers feel that backing a
product is not a responsibility? There IS a cavalier attitude here. It's
that attitude that the technically uneducated customer is an idiot and as a
result they cause all their own problems. If this was a CAR, I'd be dead by
now!
