I got my Global Explorer disc yesterday and it is a program similar in quality to Street Atlas. I have been having some trouble when I leave the program. Upon exiting after a long session I have, on several occassions, found that redraws of my screen were disabled. That is, if I opened a window, then closed it, the area behind the window would be blank. If I moved the mouse around and clicked on something in this blank area, it would reappear. If I minimized my Norton Desktop for Windows then restored it, the blank spaces would be gone. On one occassion, Global Explorer caused a GPF in one of its DLLs when I exited the program. Also it uses up a tremendous amount of system resources and doesn't return them (this last point may be the reason for all the other problems.) Anyone with similar experiences or suggestions? Sandy
