Version 10.0.7 was the first that SPSS claimed compatible w/ Win2K.  I've been
using that combo for several months and not run into a problem with recode.
Have you been tracking which version you've had a problem with (might it occur
only with earlier versions)?  Have the problems been with particular
workstations (I'm wondering if a Celeron has enough horsepower)?
