Thanks for your reply. What I am observing is that when running DrScheme without any other apps running, only one processor is used at a time, although control often swichtes bnetween the two processors. I also observe that windows 7 aborts DrScheme when more than 2Gbyte of memory is being used. I have set the memory limit of DrScheme to infite and for windows to about 5 Gbyte. Under windows xp virtual memory did function well, but that was with 1 Gbyte of memory and trashing made it impossible to go up to 2 Gbyte. Now I have two cores of 2 Gbyte, but can't put my machine to thrash on page swapping. Jos
