A number of "solutions" like above might seem to help, but I'm not sure they
get at the root of whatever problem is being discussed.  I used to use WL
with an old Gateway P166 with only 48K RAM.  I could use it SO2R and still
email and browse, with my AV program still active.  If I could do all that
with that "old" computer, it seems to me like one wouldn't have to go out of
his way to disable a bunch of stuff to get WL working properly, especially
on a newer, faster, more-RAM computer.

Just my obs in case it helps.  I don't know the answer to the problems being
discussed, but I thought it might help to know that RAM limitations,
processor speed, and the number of programs running isn't all there is to
the consideration.  73
