If you search the help/contents for GDI , there is a short explanation... "Shows the general resources of your system at the bottom of general window. If GDI resources < 10%, the program couldnt work correctly" On my notebook (celeron 450 mh with 128 mb ram) the stats are : GDI 42% 21.8 MB I have not run into the ICC problem that you have described. However, even though I like CA...it is full of annoying bugs. A few that I have encountered are : 1) engine matches - sometimes one engine just uses up all its time and the match just dies. 2) be careful when cleaning up a database by eliminating duplicates. CA sometimes cleans up more than it should. 3) trees - sometimes when you create a new tree. the system tree config makes that specific tree the default for all current base trees. You have to go into the tools/tree options/edit config and set the current base tree to "current" I see in other messages on this board that a CA 6 service pack may be available soon. Hopefully some of these bugs will be fixed. Barry Culp
