Ah !! Now I could be getting closer to finding out for myself why these multi samples will not load. Thanks Frank. I will see if I can find out exactly what kind of samples they are. I guess " properties " might tell me . And Magica thanks. I have wanted to look into Giga studio for a long time, but I guess I will need a separate linked additional PC to do that? Mine is P4 2700mz 512 ram, 120gig hard drive.

cheers, thanks guys.
