Hello Jim,

I'm  working on a single PC.

I received an explanation from Steve who said may be it
was a system resources problem.
Using Steve's recommendations, i do'nt have any crash
since his mail.
In french language, i say "je touche du bois"!

Thank you Jim for your answer and also to Steve again.

Regards,

Rudolf
