Re[2]: About TB ON XP *freezing*
Hello Gerard, VBG Thank you Thomas. Even if I we're to figure out which VBG process overwhelmed my system how would I go about VBG preventing it from starting or stopping before or once it is VBG in action? G I had the problem this morning on my WIN2K system. G The way to find the process is to switch to the task manager I wish I can do that but it'll never launch :( and if it is already running the system doesn't slow down instead it really freezes and everything is untouchable. G found it to be a little programm called VSMON.exe. G it turns out that VSmon.exe is part of an old friend called ZoneLabs :( I know but listen to this... On my desktop PC I've seen those problems and they we're inescapable but I recently got a notebook PC which is a little less powerful and I haven't experienced a *freeze* yet. G I don't know how this is possible but I expected it to be part of the G mail check thingy Zonelabs has were it deactivates certain file based on G the extension. I switch that option to No and everything is working now. Are you talking about E-mail Protection Mail Safe Setting off? If that is what you're talking about thanks I just did it as I never download and run anything suspicious anyway. Plus I have Micro Trend PC-cillin running :) But, if that is not what you're talking about please tell me :) G Hope this helps. Anything helps and I can only thank you for your input as I see it was a feature I hardly used anyway. Thank you Gerard -- Best regards, Victor B.

Hello Thomas, VBG It doesn't freeze unless I have the task manager open. What VBG happens is the system slows down to the point where if I were VBG to do a figure 8 with the mouse on the screen in one second the VBG system will still be doing that figure 8 for the next two VBG minutes. Yeah. Sounds like you're CPU resources are completely consumed by some errant process. TF I think so too. Now the question is to find out which process that is. Thank you Thomas.

Re[2]: About TB ON XP *freezing*
Hello Marck, VBG without an ounce of change TB *freezes* the entire system. VBG ... and Zone Alarm Professional running. MDP Is this the culprit? I personally recommend Kerio PF over ZAP, which MDP has caused many people many problems. Especially TB users for some MDP reason. I paid good money for ZAP as it came very highly recommended but I will trade it off instantly for a *free* product that can help TB just work without halting the system. Thank you for the input Marck. Anything else anybody has got to say about the matter and I am all ears. -- Best regards, Victor B.

Re[2]: About TB ON XP *freezing*
Hello Allie, ACM It takes something more fundamental to interfere with XP's ACM stability... I agree. XP is the most solid version of Windows I've ever played with and I've been playing with Windows since 95. ACM If XP is freezing, I don't think this has anything to do with TB!. I can prove it's The Bat! and not because it's the newest app on my system but because right after boot-up the very first app I go to launch is The Bat! It seemed to freeze up on retrieving my mail and about an hour ago I had to hard boot my PC 15 + times before restoring an old back-up made it work again. Plus, I've owned XP for just over 8 months and I never hard booted my PC like this ever. ACM How old is your system and does it misbehave in any ACM other way and with any other apps? Never. This is the first time I've ever experienced it and my system though it's about 8 months old it's specs more than meet the requirements. ACM If you wait long enough after the freezing, do you get a blue ACM screen. Do you have to reboot to regain control of your system? It doesn't freeze unless I have the task manager open. What happens is the system slows down to the point where if I were to do a figure 8 with the mouse on the screen in one second the system will still be doing that figure 8 for the next two minutes. ACM I was blaming IE for my ailing XP system since the BSOD's would ACM occur mainly while browsing. However, I soon found out it was a ACM problem with the system BIOS and video drivers. I checked with Windows update and notice I am behind one critical, 3 regular updates. I will check with SONY about any updates for my PC A.S.A.P. ACM I'd look in that direction rather than blame TB!. I really have no choice. I performed a system reformat, repartition less than a month ago and every app on my system runs in pristine mode. I am a real freak in making sure my system is in top notch mode free of errors. Besides, today the system halted only while dealing with The Bat! Funny thing is yesterday it ran all night after rebuilding my profile and installing the newest version 1.62. the only thing I did that was odd today was restarted the PC while TB was still running. Is it possible something was still running? I don't know :( -- Best regards, Victor B.

TB! runs just fine on both systems ACM and both systems are very stable unless there's a serious problem. ACM These problems have never been secondary to applications such as ACM TB!. It was locking up and I had to reboot. I could not CAD out of it. And it was only the combination of ZAP and TB! ZAP worked fine with over network programs.

Re[2]: About TB ON XP *freezing*
Hello Allie, ACM The only thing I can say is that TB! triggers a problem. Whether the ACM problem is in fact completely in TB!'s realm of responsibility is ACM yet to be proven. I naturally doubt this very much since my ACM experience with TB! is the opposite. I run it 24/7 on my XP system ACM and throughout all beta's etc for the last year, it has never ACM interfered with XP. I hope you persevere since I'm sure there's a ACM culprit. I'll find it. I will kick in Kerio as soon as possible too but want to get the network up and running with Kerio before I finally decide to stick with it. Thank you a thousand times as it feels good to know not everyone with XP is having the problem. I want TB! too :) I will let you know of any updates to my progress as they come along. -- Best regards, Victor B.
