I'm not surprised about the problem running a virus checker in a 512K machine. We have a virus checker on the network at work that automatically runs when you log on, one day each week. When I had a SCSI CD drive installed in my PC the virus checker refused to run because I did not have enough conventional memory, the SCSI driver pushed it over the limit. The thing I do not understand is, why does a virus checker need so much conventional RAM? Peter Wade Autopiloting from London, England
