Jan, the exception and exec library failures are rarely due to the 8520's, as far as I can tell. Every time I've seen them, it has been due either to some software that I've added, or to a dirty edge connector on my accelerator. You seem to have eliminated the former, so I would suspect the latter. If you can boot the system from a clean disk with no other software patches, i.e. a program fails directly from the workbench, and the system still fails, I would really suspect an intermittent or permanent hardware failure. I hope this helps. Brian

Hi Brian, So you seem to be saying perhaps the 2630 card edge connector could use a cleaning. I'll try that soon. Right now I'm expecting a complete ProPage 4.1 upgrade package, as before I only received a 'patch' disk. I do also have the problem, though much less frequently in ImageMaster, ImageFX, and AdPro! It's just that PPage won't even load, so I need to try everything relative to it. Thanx for your advice, and I will try cleaning the edge connectors, too! Jan
