We have never had problems with the upgrade system, except for one Windows 2000 machine which keeps hanging now. But I blame the software running on it for it (It's the Cisco Call Manager, which does do strange things to the system). The other two machines with the same software kept working fine. The other 40+ machines are fine all the time. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://www.mavetju.org/weblog/
