No, not exactly. The particular program I was thinking off suddenly
sucks-out the last bit of memory when you are running it and causes the "no
canvas handle" error. However, I think I can guess what your problem might
be: at Guard! It is an absolute swine for chewing up resources and randomly
hanging TB!, and Windows, and especially when actually connected to the
Internet. It seems to cause random freezes, slow downs, and memory suck-out,
before leaving you no alternative other than to reboot. I was running it for
quite a while before I worked out what was causing my problems. TB!s quirks didn't
help matters mind you, but as soon as I dumped at Guard, normality returned.
I use other stuff now. There is a choice: Lockdown2000, Signal9's PC
Firewall, and ZoneAlarm. ZoneAlarm is free from www.zonealarm.com,
Lockdown2000 costs blah, and Signal9's PC Firewall costs blah. Email me for
if you want further details. Whilst I miss some of the features of at Guard
(like ability to block or change the user agent and email, etc), these apps
are much more reliable than atGuard. In fact, ZoneAlarm stealths more ports
(well all of them actually) than any of the firewalls that I've tried out.
