Thanks for your reply DG. My slave machine is a new i7 quad processor with triple channel memory under windows 7. My metaframe is very complex but maybe it should load faster, however..... I believe that to be irrelevant to the core of this situation with all due respect.
My main concern is that if we get a force disconnect feature, it should not be attached to deleting a project. I need to disconnect a loaded project and keep it loaded for best workflow and time managment. If my main machine goes down, I would like to be able to just go to the VE PRO server select each project, force disconnect on each, and have them ready to be reconnected immediately once my main machine is back up. Is there a technical problem that would prevent this from being possible? if so, i would be curious as to what it may be.
Thank you!
