In Dec I went back to 1.18 because my XP had a half dozen BSODs since I installed 2.0 in late Oct. I have not had a BSOD since returning to 1.18.
Someone suggested running Ramtest incase the BSODs were caused by some RAM weakness. I did that - no ram errors. However, when removing and reinstalling SM versions, some other of my USB connected components seemed to run slowly - and it was plugged in via an old expansion hub. My internet (ethernet) was plugged into that same expansion hub and I wondered if some other internet activities were being affected by a slow expansion hub. So I swapped USB connections to get my internet on a USB port right on the motherboard. Eureka - all my internet action now seemed more crisp! My current postulation is the BSODs were caused by timing problems between the USB handling and SM 2.0. Not illogical that the new SM 2.0 base code expects tighter signal timing. (I could try proving this using Firefox & Thunderbird on the old USB setup but...) I debated going back to SM 2.0 now but I'm spoiled by 1.18's much simpler handling of passwords for apps that require them. Question: is SM 2 going to be modified to handle passwords decently? And if so, about when might that change be expected? -- JohnW-Mpls _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
