I redug into the installation guides on the CD, and on the website, and all I've ever found was 5 to install, and 4 to run minimum. Perhaps during hardware probe a check could be implemented, and if there isn't enough to install, an error message should display. Just a thought. Anyway, I appreciate the help, its working fine now.
