3.4 was supposed to be "ready" on the 15th ;) Thats probably why you're hearing about it. However, we still have some big problems to get through with...

Perhaps a couple of others in the group and try it, and see if its just your hardware, or whether we can duplicate it. -Brian > I'm doing this as fast as I can, unfortunately work keeps interfering w ith > the important things in my life ;) > I turned on VM86, recompiled and it works.
