Hi Victor, I really should se this to automatic on exit because all your mails pass through your inbox even if they are move to an other folder they will leave a copy in the inbox file. On the positive side I do not think this is the cause of your problem. I had this happen to me with on beta version. It just started doing this. I would only occur if you minimized the connection center. I switched back to the regular version and the problem never re-appeared. -- Best regards, Gerard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The quality of a golfer´s practice is more important than the quantity, particularly for better golfers.

Re[2]: The greatest most annoying problem halts my PC
Hello Gerard, My problems with TB *freezing* all occurred with version 1.61 on XP. I uninstalled it reinstalled 1.62 - rebuilt TB profile (2 hours) and last night till today for the first time TB did not *freeze* on me once. I've got to admit its just better when it doesn't *freeze* Thank you all for your help and the above is what I did to help fight and win the situation for at least a day :) -- Best regards, Victor B.

Just my tuppence here: I don't compress on exit, because it took a long time (on my old 400MHz machine) with my amount of accounts and folders to be purged and compressed. I prefer to do it when I choose to (almost every day, now saving 10-25MB each time), not when I am in a hurry to shut down my computer and leave. But then, I'm a control-freak and don't like to automate too much. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

Have you set your inbox folder to be compressed on exit? Do you keep
all your messages in your inbox folder? How many messages are there?
I'd first try compressing your inbox folders and see how that goes.
Try the menu item Folder/Purge and Compress.

The greatest most annoying problem halts my PC
Hello tbudl, I am on my 4th days trial with The Bat! and everything about it is amazing except for this. The Bat! slows my entire PC down from out of no where. It doesn't freeze exactly, it *slows* it down incredibly but from here on I will refer to it as a freeze. For example in the last 4 days I would leave my PC only to come back and have to shut it down hard. The Bat! makes the entire system practically unresponsive. At first I had The Bat! in Workstation with TCP/IP mode and trying to hide the Display Connection Centre would *freeze* the system (hard boot). The fix for the above was not to hide the Display Connection Centre. The problem then would be it somehow would *freeze* up again (hard boot) leaving me no choice but to fetch my mail using another client because trying to fetch mail with The Bat! again would *freeze* it up again. I tried putting The Bat! into TCP/IP or Dial-out Server mode and now I can hide the Display Connection Centre without *freezing* the entire system. The problem is the entire system *freezes* up again (I do not know why or how) leaving me no choice but to fetch my mail using another client. Then I can use The Bat! again. I think theres something wrong with The Bat! in fetching my mail. At some point it *freezes* leaving me no choice but to hard boot. Once back up again I can launch The Bat! but can not fetch mail without *freezing* the system. If once I boot back up I fetch mail with my other mail client then and only then can I get back into using The Bat! Does anyone have an idea? I would be greatly appreciative to any idea or solution that doesn't hinder it's performance. Thank you -- Best regards, Victor B.

In reply to Victor's message 'The greatest most annoying problem halts my PC' on Sat, 7 Dec 2002 00:31:36 -0500 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Victor, VBG Does anyone have an idea? I would be greatly appreciative to any VBG idea or solution that doesn't hinder it's performance. The only thing I could think of - admittedly not really like what you describe, but the only thing that comes to mind - is the animated bat icon in the taskbar when you have un-read mail. It has, at times, had bad habits of causing Explorer to use 90% of the processor, the solution was to disable the animated icon (first page of Options - Preferences). I'm not sure TB! still has this abnormality, as I disabled the animation, and prefer it that way. But its worth trying... I'm sure its something simple. :) -- dan. e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w http://www.danhirning.com Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
