| 137570 | 2003-04-24 00:34:00 | Sam...(Linux - SuSE8) Sometimes i can crash the browser, Konqueror. There was one time when i crashed KMail 1.4. I removed a set of folders that were used by a particular e-mail address, and then tried to use the said e-mail address. Although KMail redirected the incoming, and sent mail to the default "in box" and "sent box", outgoing had no "out box" causing a sudden departure of the running process from my machine. I fixed that by telling KMail to use the default outbox manually. It used to get terribly unresponsive at times, to the point where i would type and wait for the type on the screen to catch up. Putting in a nVidia TNT 32meg card where the "have this it's free" card was fixed this (Sam was built largely from scrap) All the core functions (gateway, ftp server, file server, etc.) crash only when i either pull the plug or manually shutdown the machine. Unreliable machine... What does it need electricity for? Vanessa...(98 'doze) This machine is overdue for a rebuild. How often does it crash? I cannot count the ways! Total crash guaranteed within 4 days of switching it on. This morning Kazaa crashed within 10 minutes of turning the machine on, everything else then crashed, one by one. Ultimately i rebooted. It seems happy now. This machine will soon become a Linux/doze dual boot machine. .Clueless |

| 137572 | 2003-04-24 01:56:00 | Windows XP Pro - in rather more than a year, I've had about four episodes of its more tastefully coloured version of the BSOD; I call it the "Pale Blue Screen of Temporary Unconsciousness". It's always gone smoothly into its checking routines and rebooted correctly. Once, as recorded here, it lost my most-used profile; I had to create another one, but some weeks later the original profile mysteriously became operative again. There is also the "sandy waste" problem - my entire desktop, and sometimes the taskbar too, just disappears, leaving me with a buff-coloured 'orrible blank. (Program Manager still works to raise running applications, and when I start up PM it gives me back the taskbar and Start menu, so I can launch new apps.) That hasn't happened for at least six months (where's that piece of wood?) I've heard it suggested this is a dodgy piece of memory and not a software problem. Certain websites (usually obviously run by amateurs) will jam up or close down the MSIE browser - about once a day if I'm nosing around that sort of country. In the case of jamming, I just have to bring up Program Manager and close it down. Phoenix is occasionally unstable too, but Mozilla and Opera hardly ever give trouble. Netscape seems pretty solid too, tho' I rarely use it. I'm still apt to get the tiresome "this program has committed an illegal operation" for almost any randomly selected application (mostly MS Word and MSIE) about once a week. Argus |
