My XP and Windows Server 2003 Release 2 have 512 megabyte of memory and
I am using the current version of Tame with all the current Service
packs and fixes installed on both machines.  I am using Pcboard Version
15.3.

ISome of the message bases only have 300 to 2,000 messages and I tried
increasing the block in the pcbsetup but that did not really make any
difference.  I am using the standard install of XP so I have been
messing around with this one problem for the past three weeks, and I
am not really making any progress with it.

So I am trying to figure out what is different with the system
configuration between your machine machine and mine and see if I can
figure out what is causing the problem..

Thanks
