Re: Win2k, passport, and millennium?

["John Chambers" <jchambers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Either w2k or XP pro will be fine. You will want a lot of ram 256mb+. The only issue we have seen with the Passport app is, it is a 16-bit application. Because of that is sometimes it  will crash the 16-bit subsystem of the OS and may render the machine useless until it is rebooted.

Hello. We are about to upgrade some staff computers from WinNT and trying to decide between Windows 2000 and XP Pro. Those stations use Millennium, GUICat, and OCLC Passport. I was learning towards 2K, but I understand from OCLC that there is a potential problem with running Passport on Win2K with other programs.

Can anyone share experiences, positive or negative, with running OCLC Passport simultaneously with Millennium and Guicat on a Windows 2000 workstation? If you are doing it happily, how much RAM do you have? Likewise for XP?

Thanks very much!
