Many people use TB and NAV together. I've had problems in the past though mainly of my own making, rebooting while live update is updating the program is not a good idea. :) A couple of times I've had it update only to find it doesn't work correctly for what ever reason but nothing major considering how long I've been using it. This is probably due to an update being released too quickly before being checked properly or a patch not working updating properly. RL>> "Access violation at address 003D35EC.

It seems to be always the same address, right? Yes it's always the same error message, no idea what triggers it, it seems to be entirely random, some times many one after another or times like today when I've not seen it at all. What's the best person to email regarding this?

If correct, I would do a reinstall.

I 99.99% sure there's nothing infectious on my hard drive that shouldn't be. The drive was partitioned and formatted before installing and then the various programs where installed from the original CD's and then all updated. -- Best regards, Richard Lane - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magnum Opus http://www.magnumopus.co.uk ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
