137540 2003-04-21 08:42:00 Im just curious how often your Web Browser crashes, how often your PC gets so unstable it requires a reboot (Or too many program crashes make it do it istelf etc.) and how often the other Program that you use most die on ya?

For me:
Phoenix - Never
IE6 - Once every 2 days
WinAmp - Never

And occasionally (VERY) in Linux, I'll kill my window manager somehow :-)

Anybody else?

Cheers

137541 2003-04-21 09:01:00 Hmm, I have to think hard about this one because things do not crash on me that often. My system is pretty stable considering the fiddling I do. :p

Opera - has very rarely crashed on me, maybe never? Well, not that I can remember anyway.

IE 6 - again cannot remember but it probably has a couple of times.

Kerio has packed a sad a few times for some reason. Program conflicts would probably have been the cause.

There is one thing that does regularly crash on me without fail and that is Liam's Chatroom! :p :D

137542 2003-04-21 09:12:00 windows 2000, the blue screen of death upon bootup (memory trouble): once per 2 weeks. while working: none.

IE6 browser: say once a week when lots of windows opened.

Outlook 2000, email: before like 10 times a day!! now reinstall - never.

137543 2003-04-21 09:20:00 I mostly use Linux and so it is quite stable. The only time it ever crashes is if I change a config file or something like that. Mozilla is rock solid and has never crashed on me, but Phoenix in Linux often crashes. flyer590 (2523)
137544 2003-04-21 09:28:00 win98se stable as a rock :) its been running all day every day this long weekend without crashing or needing a reboot. (i hope the good luck lasts ;-))

opera has crashed a few times, i've yet to work out why. possible conflict with icq.

accrobat reader is normally the app i have crash most often.

IE6- don't use it enough to find out.

137545 2003-04-21 09:42:00 Well... I forgot to add that ICQ Lite crashes sometimes on me.. Once every 5 or so days on My Win2K Pro PC.. or Once a day on the Family's WinXP PC :-) Chilling_Silently (228)
137546 2003-04-21 10:14:00 My WinME has been crash happy recently. It doesn't seem to like me constantly changing Network TCP/IP settings and the compulsory reboot at each change (only doing this as I am trouble shooting a problem at the moment). Even running winipcfg is starting to cause a program not responding error :-( .

My main WinXP machine hums along quite nicely. I have crashed Opera twice, the second time it took Windows out with it. I am currently making heaps of coasters trying to Ghost my system (gone thru 8 CD's tonight!). I suspect this is hardware related though and not software/CD as it is a brand new CD-RW.

Other than that, computer & software are normally well behaved. :-)

NZ PC World CDROM never give this problem.

137548 2003-04-21 11:05:00 I use Windows XP Pro as my main operating system and it has never crashed on me other than when I've been overclocking a tad too much.

Phoenix - never other than when I've just closed it anyway, think it's my memory. Or if I've intentionally been running javascripts trying to crash it.

Mozilla - same as Phoenix

Foobar - never

Trillian - never, apart from when there is a "user logged on" popup on the screen when I change my Windows Visual Style.

IE - never, only ever use it for windows updates and that chatroom with bad browser support.

all in all most of my things don't crash unless I've been doing stuff I shouldn't have been doing anyway.

137549 2003-04-21 11:13:00 I'm running GNOME 2.2 on GNU/Segfault Linux 3.0. Most of the stuff I'm running is in development (A lot of gtk2 apps that haven't reached the stable stage yet) so crashes should be expected, however I haven't had any crashes that haven't been because of me messing around with something. (I'm a bug reporter, so I have to try and make things crash :D) segfault (655)
