I have been using Dave Search for a long time now. I CANT live without it!!! Searching, math, opening aliases …
it is soooo handy. Last week, however, after I installed a
few things it started crashing. In
fact after I use daves
search, Internet explorer would crash and then, windows explorer would lock up.
An hour glass would appear down in
the taskbar. I could use the start menu
(using keyboard shortcut) or use a running application, but explorer (or the
taskbar more specifically) was locked.
I have to, every time, CTRL ALT DEL, end
explorer.exe, new task> explorer.exe to get it back. The meat of the matter is: I just installed Aardvark’s Direct
Pro 24/96 drivers, Cakewalk’s Sonar 2.2, and Creative’s
SoundBlaster Platinum Drivers. I
just got this recording device and started using it and that is when I noticed. I uninstalled/reinstalled Dave’s- still
didn’t work. I patched
Internet Explorer- still didn’t work. I started using Opera Browser- made it
worse! So like any Dave Search freak
would do… I reinstalled windows (XP). Well much to my surprise, as soon as I installed
Dave’s it did it again.
Unfortunately I wasn’t expecting it to do it so I installed Sonar,
Aardvark and SBLive’s drivers first. And I certainly could uninstall each one
and try to figure it out, but I figure I got it narrowed down pretty good (I am
leaning towards Sound Blaster). Has
anyone had this problem??? Anything close? Does anyone have any of these apps
installed? I am so dependent on Daves Search that I NEED it working again. Please help…
Big Fan,
Eric
