Yes, just did. Let me finish the 16 remaining scheduled cards for the day, then froze after about 5 unlearned cards. The program will hang for me both on the regularly scheduled cards, and in new, unlearned cards, which I neglected to mention before (I mention it because I noticed another poster said they have it on learning new cards). I did the defragging, didn't seem to have an effect (my computer was only at 1% fragmentation to start). The sysinternal trick seems a bit too advanced for me.
I was thinking, I could load the program on another computer that I only rarely use, mount the database in that copy of th program, and see if it occurs there; which may let us know if it's something to do with the database, or the computer? This may or may not be of help, I really don't know. That other computer is a Windows 7 64-bit desktop, this one is a Windows 7 Starter netbook. Let me know if it is worthwhile. I may just do it temporarily so I can keep up on my card repetitions, and then start using my netbook again once the problem is fixed. I prefer not to have to use the desktop comp for review though. Thanks again, Chris Shanks. On Monday, July 9, 2012 10:06:30 PM UTC-7, Peter Bienstman wrote: > > Thanks for the info.
