Re: Debugging hard hang on NT4
I just got the latest updates and the slider does not seem to be disappearing anymore (yay!). However, the hanging problem is still there, I can easily reproduce it -- I don't think it's going to be related to the slider. There is one bug with the new slider on my system - as it advances, it leaves behind "slivers" one or two pixels wide (looks like the left edge of the slider does not get erased when it advances). I have 1024x768 @ True Color, Small Fonts. c On Wed, 9 Feb 2000, Mark B.

Re: Debugging hard hang on NT4
Its hosed. The last few messages from me to the group were sent yesterday and just now got through for some reason. I was over-hasty in assuming it got fixed. The private emails we've been having are accurate. c On Thu, 10 Feb 2000, Mayhem Chaos Coordinator wrote: So, which of the two following statments is accurate: #1: I just got the latest updates and the slider does not seem to be disappearing anymore (yay!).

But that's unusual. The thing with the slider disappearing happens 100% of the time. Is your slider hosed or not? --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: Debugging hard hang on NT4
this is a driver hang but not from portio.sys... it is most certainly caused by something not being kosher in the soundcard driver. as rob said, check out the latest stuff he has checked in. elrod Chad Loder wrote: Sorry to flood the group like this, but these issues have been building up in my head, and I figured it would be good to have them all in separate threads because they are unrelated.
