The problem appears to happen when one receives mail from another PC( when a window pops up to inform you of an incoming mail ). I think it has something to do with the type of the monitor you are using. There doesn't seem to be a way of disabling this informing window (I called up PC-NFS Tech. support, and they said there is no way to do so). Also, I wonder if your mail system is configured for SMTP Model and not POP. If so, try setting up your mail using POP model, and see what happens. I didn't have any luck using either model on the PC w/Wyse7190. However, everything is fine on a VGA monitor. Cheers, Noushin -- what you do and what you say do you know the difference anyway -INXS
