(forwarded to list by moderator) hi all..
I'm sending this from <gasp> Outlook (grim for now).. lol I've spent about 10 hours trying to figure out what is batty about my bat. I have updated to 1.62.. I'm on winxp pro.. Have been using TB for about a year..never had a problem like this.. first let me say i found this menu item that said restore lost foldrs.. so i did that....... then i noticed that i lost all my filters... (not sure if it's related) the symptom, appears related to I/O, not 100% sure on that one though.. I was able to backup batty in 2 different backups because one index had a problem.. (this was after i lost the filters though!) Here's kinda what happens.. things seem okay and then after viewing 3 or 4 messages (or doing send/receive) the bat tray icon stops flapping and looks frozen. When i look at the windows taskbar, thebat.exe is not displayed in active applications... but it is 240k, 260k, 220k, 330k on the memory (usually my batty is about 16-30 k) another weird thing is that the file menu (standard one in all windows application) that whole bar goes white... the application is still visible to me and still not on the tasklist. The only way i know how to get any control back to my machine (because when this happens the whole system hangs) is to end the thebat.exe process.. which is not good either.. so, I'm totally at a loss as to what to do....... My baby's sick! Thanks.. Laura ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
