Hm, it's all spinning on my laptop that is supposed to be for Pilot
development only so that computer is "can't touch this" for my wife.
The system doesn't blow up anywhere else but in specific point described
by now. I'm not running any weird service just QuickRes, SndVolume, MS
FastFind and OfficeStartup (in sys tray) - so it's nothing but few basic
services started by Windows etc. The only software running in multitasking
near MW CW is POSE 2.1d25 (it is sometimes unstable - when running CW
debugger and come onto bug, mostly I have to restart POSE and CW in order
to start debugger again) and AcrobarReader (now V4.0).
I haven't installed anything special recently as I can recall (that could
mess up dlls) and the only other stuff I run are Netscape 4.6, MS Word,..
and sometimes Duke Nukem (in DOS) but I don't belive that any of these are
responsible.
Look, I'm not trying to make foss out of it and maybe this isn't the right
place, but here are developers and MW people interacting and they can at
least be warned. Frankly, I thought that there'd be more developers
noticed that problem.
