If it is caused by CTFMON, then this is what I use on my system (WinXP Pro, Office XP Pro) to stop it from happening.
Right click your desktop and select new text document
Paste this into the newly created text file.
taskkill.exe /im ctfmon*
cd c:\sm11\system
start /b c:\sm11\system\amill.exe
If your SC file is somewhere other than "C:\Sm11", then edit it accordingly. Substitute "amill.exe" for whatever SC app. you want to launch.
Close and save the file.
Right click the new text file and rename it to somefilename.bat. I call mine Amill.bat because it opens AMill.

It seems to be random. Some times SC will run for only
a few minutes other times 1/2 an hour and has happened doing different
tasks including keep defaults.

From what I've read here, it's not Windows XP specific,
but rather Office 2000/XP specific. The most common action that causes
it to happen is when you use "Keep Defaults" inside SC.
Can you tell if it always happens when you're performing
the same task in SC?

I'm trying to get my new computer loaded with Smartcam
Advanced production milling and Wire EDM.
I have the permanent lock installed. It starts
and works for a little while then freezes up. Is this the same problem
others have had when using XP?
I have read the previous posts regarding the
kill ctfmon batch file. Is this what I need to do?
How is the batch file created? In Notepad? How is it saved?
Once I have created it do I just drag it and
put it some where like a root directly?
Could some one give specific instructions for this
process if it is what I need to do?
Thank you all.
