Peter- I have been using Mathematica 4.01 under Win2K since Release Candidate 2 (last September) with no problems. In fact, contrary to popular belief, most programs, including Mathematica, seem to run 5 - 10% faster than under NT4. I would tend to suspect an underlying system problem, perhaps another program or service that is hogging system resources. You might try looking at the Performance and Processes tabs in the Task Manager. Also, I might add that in my experience, dual Celeron systems have had reliability problems. Good luck, John Keith "Peter Buttgereit" <buttgereit at communication-works.de> wrote in message news:8f2971$ud at smc.vnet.net... > Hi All > > Running Mathematica v.4 on a bi-celeron 256 MB with Win 2000 the bracket-maching > mechanism is annoyingly slow.
