Hello Enrico, I noticed the same thing on my XP-pro version. That's why I dedided to match DJ9 vs Shredder8 on my XP-home version. Maybe it's possible to force the GUI to use only one thread, using the taskmanager's "affinity" setting. I'll try to work something out, and force it to use 1 thread on xp-pro. Greetz, Rick
