That's the language which was on the Alert Boxes (which I perceived at first as cascading AVs) that came up for me. There were dozens of them before I used the Task Manager to close TB! However, when I unpacked the Except log you sent using WinRar, saving it to My Documents, the language shows as: "v3.81.12 Beta /Charlene 26.07.2006 22:59:33 GifImage:6 EOutOfResources Out of system resources" So, I did not recognize it as being the same as my own Alert boxes.

Perhaps you could describe its shortcomings in an issue report at Bug Tracker? I would then put a supporting note. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.81.12 Beta on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.81.12 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
