[3.81.13/.14] Maintenance Centre Backup errors
Hello TBBETA, I am having trouble using the Backup tool in TB. I back up my personal mail about 1/month as its not critical. This month, however, I am getting an error when running it. The backup hangs when writing to disk and doesn't matter which accounts I try to backup (2 pop plus local folders). I have to click cancel and get a dialog with the following error... 'Thread Error - access is denied (5)' The only thing that has changed since last month is I have changed from a single core Athlon x64 to a dual core x64. The PC is running fine in all other respects. Anyone any ideas? -- Tony Brookes [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tonybro.com http://www.4winmobile.com The UK's Premier Windows Mobile Resource Current beta is 3.81.14 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Anyone any ideas? dualCPUing your comp, AFAIR, needs an OS reinstall, as it requires a different kernel. it's possible, though, that choosing repair at install time will suffice. otherwise it can lead to serious data disaster on the disk volumes in the long run. it would have been better if you'd asked MSFT *prior* to the upgrade. there are chances, though very little, that the installer has *already* installed the correct kernel, as the possibility to add a second CPU *may* (though not in all cases) be detected without having them both installed at that time. but i still bet 80:20 that they DIDN'T identify your platform as upgradable to dual CPU. and the same story applies to hyperthread. do NOT disable HT when you do a first-time Windows installation. or else, a story might appear on slashdot, claiming HT is broken+braindead+hackprone. then it appears reprinted and translated on a zillion other sites... :) -- regards, vitaliemailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current beta is 3.81.14 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

POP connections lock
Here's an annoying one. It started about 3 or 4 betas ago and has yet to be repaired in subsequent betas. Approximately 6 - 10 times a day, one of my POP accounts will connect to get mail and then just hang on a message. Usually it's some sort of spam e-mail but nevertheless, it halts all other incoming mail for the specific POP account. Other POP accounts continue to work ok. The only fix is to kill it in Task Manager and restart. Sometimes it will repeat and hang again. If it continues, I am forced to connect to my mail server through the web or using Thunderbird to delete the bad e-mail. Attached is an example. This particular e-mail is not spam. -- Matt v. 3.81.14 Beta cc.png Description: PNG image Current beta is 3.81.14 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
