Hi Jim, How much memory (ram) does your system have? The Legacy file is 13 megabytes so it may be causing memory overruns. It downloads fine for me but I have 256 MB of ram.

Each time I get a "fatal error" message and my computer shuts down which requires Scan Disk to run on the reboot. Has anyone else had this problem or is just me or my computer??

Thanks Eldon, that may be the problem since I have only 96 megs of RAM. But I did not get a "memory" message; it was a "fatal error" message and said that the program had executed and "illegal operation." I don't know what that means. Thanks for your help Eldon, and others likewise who responded to my initial E-Mail. Jim Allen. At 06:05 PM 1/7/01 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Jim, >How much memory (ram) does your system have?
