Mr. Shumway: I should reiterate that I dont clear the cache every time. As an experiment I did clear it. Nothing I do helps. I don't understand why I seem to be the only one with this problem. I'm on really good machine, a P4, 1.8GHz, 1 gig ram. I racking my brain on why that one board loads so darn slow for just me! I posted it here instead of on the 'puters board to see if anyone else was experiencing this as well. Guess I will take it to the puter board is no one else replies.
