The "not responding" text is inserted by Windows itself, not the individual software that is having issues. This is Microsoft's hint to the end user to wait for something to happen. If the software stays in that state for some period of time then Windows will offer a dialog box that asks the user if they wish to continue waiting or forcibly terminate the program. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
