Its ICC that then comes back with the "Not your turn error". To me its clear where the problem is. The delay is just an attempt to workaround the problem. Like mentioned before, I have never been able to reproduce the problem myself. It also seems to happen with a few people. Perhaps they have very fast PC's. Suggestion for now is to try a even higher delay, something like 500 ms. Lex >Either this is not the problem or ICC has severe bugs. > >-- >GCP
