C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\ <<< out of date Norton really puts a drag on things also.

Edited by little eagle, 30 May 2006 - 06:27 PM.

[Robzombuy1]

thanks again for your help!! I guess things are okay except out of date java. I'll look into that and see if we can come up with something else besides Norton. Take care.
