   Thanks Steve.   
      
   I am trying a bunch of things...please see my detailed response later in the    
   thread...I did not want to repeat the same info a couple of times...I hope you    
   do not mind.   
      
   Regarding PMMERGE.DLL & DOSCALL1.DLL, here is what I have on my system:   
      
    7-05-06  10:28p   1270499          49  pmmerge.dll   
    7-16-03   6:51p   1269677          49  pmmerge.dll.cp2_fp4   
   12-29-04   7:33p   1270499          49  PMMERGE.DLL.cp2_fp5   
    7-05-06  10:28p   1270499          49  pmmerge.dll.cp2_fp6   
      
   ...and...   
      
   10-17-06   8:44a    144677           0  DOSCALL1.DLL   
   10-10-03   3:57p    137469           0  DOSCALL1.DLL.cp2_fp4   
   12-29-04  11:15a    137601           0  DOSCALL1.DLL.cp2_fp5   
   12-29-04  11:25a    144631           0  DOSCALL1.DLL.cp2_fp5_smp   
   10-17-06   8:33a    137659           0  DOSCALL1.DLL.cp2_fp6   
   10-17-06   8:44a    144677           0  DOSCALL1.DLL.cp2_fp6_smp   
      
   So far, with a change to the 2048 virtual mem setting my stability has   
   improved,   
   but the Firefox issue has not gone away. Instead, I went back to the "SET    
   NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1" setting.   
      
   Thanks!
