Marc van Hall are rigth, Win98 has less conventional memory, but I also already had made update to correct this in a brazilian site (http://www.gabrieltorres.com/). Look at this site, has a version for English langage, and is very good. At last, I believe that my friend is rigth when he speaks: " The computers are very nervous. " Regards, Paulo Soares.
