From time to time as I turn off BOINC, it stays active anyway and I have to kill the application in Windows task manager. Also, it some times crashes my NVIDIA drivers or I crash them. I'm sure that could account for one or two a month. Thank you for the abundance of knowledge! Keep Crunchin' BDDave
