My IE6 under W98 on Virtual PC6 was blocked. I could not re-start VPC, CTL-ALT-DEL did not work, shut down PC did not work. So I tried force quite VPC. My cursor locked in position, and my entire Ti-500 was blocked. CTL-CMD-PWR was the only way forward. A crash like this is so rare that it almost seemed worthy of reporting. It made me realise just how solid and robust X (10.2.5) is now. A once-a-quarter block becomes almost a novel event. Unlike the earlier days of X, if list members recall, when my ISDN pc-card was giving me a kernel panic almost every day.... progress.... :-) Trevor
