Hello Julian! And Anna! On Tuesday, June 17, 2003, 2:42 PM, you wrote, in part:

Anna, I would like to encourage you also not to give up on The Bat! I have had it hang sometimes in the past and the Task Manager not able to close it because a process was still running. And then I ended with a frozen computer and had to disable its power by turning off the switch on the surge protector. And then reboot. After some trial and error, I found my problem to be that the Connection Centre had not closed. When I learned to be sure to abort the occasional message which would get stuck there--and to untick "Check mail every ? minutes" in Account/Properties--before clicking on "Close" or "Exit" or that red X in the corner--I stopped having shut-down problems. I didn't write this to you before, because I wasn't sure it was relevant to your experiences. But with nothing to lose, or make any more confusing, I decided to chime in. The Bat! truly is worth all the trouble of figuring it out. Keep on trying? And report back to tbudl? -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
