This one is a tough one to diagnose, because you see on a Dell 4400 w/ 512 megs of Ram (P4 1.6) the system just comes to a crawl every now and again and only really when I am running Outlook. One thing I found out early on w/ the crappy P4/Dell solutions is that you have to load the damn Intel Accelerator software in order to make the system speed up otherwise it's slower than a Celeron 600, NO JOKE, I do tax my local pc some, I usually will have Outlook Outlook Express EM * 2 QA * 3 or 4 depends Access 2000 * 2 or 3 (depends) ultraVNC Sql Server 2000 Desktop and McAfee A/V (of course)... generally that leaves me w/ an average of 200megs physical ram free. At home by contrast I can have the same number of EM/QA and Access sessions open along with a few IE browser windows open and also SqlServer 2000 desktop plus I may be encoding (compressing) a TV show while another is playing... the home processor is an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and until recently had only 512 ddr also but now have upgraded it to 1gig ;o). My home pc does all that and still has room to encode some MP3's or anything else I want to throw at it. and I don't get the long pauses that I do here at work. the OS is the same on both systems and I am up to SP2 on both, by contrast the home pc has 3 hdd's for a total of 185gig while the work pc only has 60gig hdd... what OS are you running on your local pc (not the server) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com On Wednesday, April 23, 2003 12:03 PM [GMT-8], Jim Lawrence (AccessD) <accessd at shaw.ca> wrote: : Hi Francisco: : : I am only have the basic Outlook Express, on that server and have : never used it.
