Huh! That's almost incredible. But then this trick only works with W2k
or XP. And both of them need a LOT more RAM than MicroSludge tells
you. (I see PCs--mostly laptops--offered for sale with XP on them in
256 Mb. Idiocy.) If total RAM was low, the installation might set that
buffer, whatever it is, too low.
Yes, please, ask him what setting that was. Every bit of information
helps.
