HA HA now I see more differences between our SETUP, very strange because I had this the otherway around (beta release) under W2K pro when clicking on FILE/SAVE it stopped immediately. MY W2Kpro = NTFS But My Windows XP Pro (up to date via windows update) is STILL FAT32 because I didn't convert the drive yet and I don't have the problem Setup is only PIII 850 Mhz 1024 Gb Ram but no IDE drives only SCSI + Ultra160 HDD's Just a suggestion to people who would share there info pse say also WHAT OS you are using and if you have FAT16 - FAT32 or NTFS file system. 73 Guy ON4AOI BAND DECODER and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm DX4WIN soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm ARSWIN link and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm DXTELNET soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm MY SALESPAGE with radioamateur & computer parts http://www.on4aoi.be/sale.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff Ahrens - K0CA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DX4WIN Reflector" <Dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Cc: "KK4HD" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "NR4M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 10:15 PM Subject: [Dx4win] More on Isolating Cause of Alt-S crashes > I've done some troubleshooting to try to help Paul isolate a "pattern" of > crashes when using Alt-S save, since he indicated that after modifying some > code, the issue seemed to be resolved in the beta testing.
