Hi James,
Are you running FoxView or the old Display Manager? This happens
occasionally on our FoxView systems, and has for the last 4 or 5 revisions.
We are currently running FoxView 99.2, & random lockups still happen.
Sometimes we can kill off the FoxView session and restart it - others times
it requires a reboot.
One thing that reduced the lockups is ensuring the active window follows
pointer option is set. We had a AW51C but Foxboro removed it during our
startup two years ago. Mucho problems with it, & they gave us a spiffier
version of the B to replace it.
Our old Display Manager system does not appear to ever lock up. Rock
solid product!
