Hi Keith, 2nd, 3rd, 4th…I hope that you were just rereading you file you downloaded. I don't think it got sent more than twice<g>. 1. You have some task swtiching whenever you go from VB to DOS. A common "function" would be called from the "Task Manager EXE" and any time you go from one app to another app. When I talk about the Task Manager, I am refering to this as an "interface" that performs some functions calls that would be common to the two ways of changing windows. 2. I don't know if the dir statement uses the 80387, I am sure there is some math going on…however little. Heck even some screen output would use numbers crunching to position the text on the screen. 3. Who said MS could not reproduce it? I just said I can't, or any one else here in BASLANG. It was documented through the Windows group(separate from BASLANG here at PSS). Looking at the Service Request, I am told that it was a *very* hard bug to reproduce. I don't have all the specifics as to whether it was the specific machine or just software that reproduced it. 4. Ahh Sherlock<g>! Five days before you all started the thread!<gg> Actually, the problem was "discovered" through another group here at MS through another individual having the problem. It didn't even start with someone with a VB app, but someone with C code specifying use of the 80387sx. MS is *very* large and several groups may work on the same problem without knowing it. Don Funk
