Yeah. I've downloaded 1.03 but it hasn't helped. I was hoping it was
something else. Oh, well off to London Drugs for another DIMM....
Thanks.

You could also try unloaded/stopping any resident programs which may be
using up resources. Remove stuff like screensaver and background virus
checkers. I had someone ask me a similar question to this and managed to
solve it by creating another windows install on a second hard drive and
removing everything not needed and using that. A bit drastic, but it did
work. Personally, I would go for the memory option first as it's cheap
anyway and will make your system run a little better.

That was it, all right. 128M later and it's working just fine.
Now to figure out the drawbridge puzzle...
