Hello Allie,
ACM> It takes something more fundamental to interfere with XP's
ACM> stability...
I agree. XP is the most solid version of Windows I've ever
played with and I've been playing with Windows since 95.
ACM> If XP is freezing, I don't think this has anything to do with TB!.
I can prove it's The Bat! and not because it's the newest
app on my system but because right after boot-up the very
first app I go to launch is The Bat!
It seemed to freeze up on retrieving my mail and
about an hour ago I had to hard boot my PC 15 +
times before restoring an old back-up made it work
again.
Plus, I've owned XP for just over 8 months and
I never hard booted my PC like this ever.
ACM> How old is your system and does it misbehave in any
ACM> other way and with any other apps?
Never. This is the first time I've ever experienced it and
my system though it's about 8 months old it's specs more
than meet the requirements.
ACM> If you wait long enough after the freezing, do you get a blue
ACM> screen. Do you have to reboot to regain control of your system?
It doesn't freeze unless I have the task manager open.
What happens is the system slows down to the point where
if I were to do a figure 8 with the mouse on the screen in
one second the system will still be doing that figure 8
for the next two minutes.
ACM> I was blaming IE for my ailing XP system since the BSOD's would
ACM> occur mainly while browsing. However, I soon found out it was a
ACM> problem with the system BIOS and video drivers.
I checked with Windows update and notice I am behind one
critical, 3 regular updates. I will check with SONY about
any updates for my PC A.S.A.P.
ACM> I'd look in that direction rather than blame TB!.
I really have no choice. I performed a system reformat,
repartition less than a month ago and every app on my
system runs in pristine mode.
I am a real freak in making sure my system is in
top notch mode free of errors. Besides, today the
system halted only while dealing with The Bat!
Funny thing is yesterday it ran all night after rebuilding
my profile and installing the newest version 1.62. the
only thing I did that was odd today was restarted the PC
while TB was still running.
Is it possible something was still running? I don't know :(
