Thanks, Adreas.

 It's works, but unfortunately its the same version I've been using
(50% CPU Usage). :-)
 It's OK, I can live with it. 
What I'm using is the best is great information.

 BTY, I think www.squeak.org/Download page better to be corrected.
Virtual Machine section states

------------
 Windows
   Win32 (Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista)
   WinCE

 shoud be
-------------
 Windows
   Win32 (Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista)
   Win9x (Windows 95/98/ME)
   WinCE

 Thanks, bye
