RE: Missed the fact that a line was commented out...

It's not XP...

I run WDSC at home on XP Pro with only 384MB.  At the same time, I'll have 2-3 
5250 session open, outlook express, Firefox, Adobe, Norton AV running, PPTP VPN 
connection, Ops-Nav and "Run SQL Scripts".

All this on a 850Mhz CPU.....of course it is an Athlon CPU.  But, even then 
it's a Slot-A T-bird, not a newer Socket A one.

Heck, it walks all over the 1.6GHz Pentium 4 w/1GB RAM I have here at work. ;-)
