Re: Save State

Thanks for your post, Robert.

It's suprising that I have been using the saved state between two machines
for quite a while (about a year), and the two computers are actually nothing
alike. The home PC is qual-core, 4GB Memory running Win Vista Ultimate. The
office machine is Dual-core, 2GB running Windows XP. Different Video card,
different sound card different everything. I guess it's just a pure fluke
like you said...

Thank again,

Best Regards,

Hill
