I traced it back to an incompatibility with the 4nt command-line shell. Would you be willing to take a look at why powerpro freezes in this case? In order to replicate, you need to grab an evaluation version of 4nt from http://www.jpsoft.com -- it's a very clean install, 4nt is a command-line program and it doesn't use the registry. This is happening on winXP sp1 and sp2 with 4nt version 6.x. Powerpro right-wheel task switching freezes exactly when 4nt is reading from the right half of a redirected pipe, for example: Start a ** 4NT ** command box. in it. At the command prompt type sort | y and leave it there. Click on another window. Right-wheel to switch tasks, nothing happens, Powerpro is frozen. Kill the 4NT window, or just the 4nt process that is executing y; powerpro unfreezes. Note that in this example an instance of 4nt.exe is reading from the pipe via the 4nt y builtin -copy stdin to stdout. Now open another 4NT box. Type y | sort and repeat the above procedure. Powerpro doesn't freeze because in this second example 4NT isn't reading from the pipe, c:\windows\system32\sort.exe is. ------------------------ Yahoo!
