Well, Commander, I havent heard of any AV software creating problems for MapInfo. In fact, windows is full to the brim with running processes (!) all of which would be monitored. I have used Norton and AVG. Both of these have never caused any problems in any software. What is your AV software? Is there a particular process where it always crashes? If so, have you run that process with and without the AV running? Also, check your temporary folder - is there enough space? Is it littered with .TMP files? (I have found that MI crashes when it generates too many TMP files) I would be wary about exempting any folders from a virus scan. There are just too many viruses, trojans etc. out there and its not worth the risk. <snip> We're using etrust AV, and I'm only excluding the processes and files/directories from the real-time scanner, the schedule scanner will still do a full scan. It's not a manger risk and it's common practice for "problem software" to have exclusions in the AV. I'm not too concerned about that. Where does MapInfo put all it's .tmp files? The crashes don't appear to be reliably reproducible but are very regular and common, the process I've seen crash is MAPINFOW.EXE. Also does anyone know if MapInfo has issue's with SMP kernels? (Multiple Processor or Hyper Threaded PC's) Thanks Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 16839
