Hello TBUDL, Just started to use the Bat in prefernece to MS Outlook Express. When I first loaded it everything fine and worked a treat - very fast. However, after suffering a system crash (HDD failure) I have had to replace the HDD (with same type and manufacturer) and re-install the OS. The Bat! now is very slow - even on a completely fresh install of Windows XP. It constantly locks up the PC requiring a soft restart.
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP1 with all patches up to date. Have 512Mb RAM, 1.33 MHz AMD processor and The Bat! v1.62r. Am running Zone Alarm Pro v3.7.159 in the background with Kasperky v4 anti-virus. Have tried disabling both these to see if it makes a difference but still very slow and lock ups still happen. I have a 1Mb broadband connection to my mail servers and 4 different accounts set up. Can anybody help with a possible reason for the locks ups and slowness please? -- Best regards, Laurence mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
