As I said then, my computer has a 600MHz Pentium III chip; I have one database that contains almost 14,000 names, and many, many sources, documents, etc. When I press "N" to bring up the list of names in that large database, it takes a matter of 3-4 seconds. Everything else is available instantly, and I mean INSTANTLY! No wait! The only thing I can say about the complaint is the same as "mongreltiger" says -- a 400 MHz computer is more than fast enough to handle CFTW. I suspect that the problem is either not enough memory (the probable cause), or other things being loaded in Windows at startup that just bogs down the system. SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN
