GDI (I believe that's what you mean) is the Graphics Device Interface and deals with printing and fonts, etc. Resources should be of no concern until they drop below 50%, or the meter itself turns yellow, in which case a system shutdown is imminent. You, and every one else, may read all about it by installing the Win 98 or 95 Resource kit which is found on the install CD. I believe it is also available from The MS site. **************************************************************************** ****************************************8 I clicked on my Resource Meter to check on my resources. Along with System and User, there is also GDL. What does GDL stand for and what percentage should that be? PCBUILD only works if you contribute. Send your messages to be posted to: [log in to unmask]
