Any hint how to avoid it? I don't think so: Fritz: at least 10MB, Win98 >at least 14-16MB => 24MB RAM minimum so you could, ideal circumstances, use >64-24 = 40MB hash, reality is much below; do you have the TBs? Another some megs >RAM... I have 4MB TB cache also. But I have got feeling, that Win98 uses memory more efficient than W95. I use "only" 1024*768 display resolution. When I compared memory use between Frit5.32 and Fritz6 I noticed about 4MB difference so I simply change hash from previous 52MB to 48MB. Jouni
