[QUOTE="Therigwin, post: 346443, member: 6679"] I have yet to have eTools crash or hang up on me without me causing it to. (Loading a char file that used a custom PrC I had added and releasizing that the active version of the database was a clean version without the PrC changes) I have a subpar system. PII 300 with 128 Mg RAM, 6 gig HD, and Win XP Pro running 16bit. The colors are readable with no problems, the fonts are all system fonts. You can change the colors (instructions on that FAQ site or msn group site) I have had IE, Word, eTools - 4 Char, 2 Tables, Access 2000, and ET Helper all open at the same time. (Note - Access and ET Helper were not connected to the database at the time) eTools is really not much of a memory hog. I have noticed a decrease in speed as I increase the database, but hey, that is expected. I would get rid of Norton Crash Guard, cause I have only seen it crash systems. Also make sure you are up to date on all your system drivers and updates from MS and your hardware manufacturers. And make sure you have all those other patches mentioned (Jet, MDAC, IE 6). Finally, make sure all your rac, mons, char has all the necessary add-ons if you downloaded them. (IE install the necessary other options with ET Helper to get the added feats or languages that the races, monsters, or characters were created with) I just want a patch that fixes it up to being the actual 3 core rule books.
