Hi Darcy,
I get crashes more often in 2008 than I used to, crashes much more
often than hangs, and I think they happen consistently when some
computer intensive thing is about to happen at the same time as an
Auto-Save is about to kick in - a playback is about to begin, or a
Mass Edit thing, but sometimes just trying to enter a note or edit
something will catch the program and confuse it. This is only what I
conclude from what I am trying to understand from the experience. I
don't really know what's going on. I can report that it happens with
some regularity, and more often than I can find easily tolerable.
I lose 5 minutes of work when it does happen - sometimes that's not
much (slowpoke that I can be), but it can be a lot, if I've been
moving quickly.

Hey all,
Okay, so another thing I've noticed is that FinMac2008 reliably
hangs after being left open for a long period of time -- say,
overnight. (You may need to have Garritan instruments loaded for
this to happen). Everything appears fine when you return to the
computer, but as soon as you try to perform an action, you get the
Spinning Rainbow Wheel of Death. The only way out of this hang is
to Force Quit, but when you do that, the entire computer hangs for
about 30 seconds (with the Spinning Rainbow Wheel of Death in
*every* app, and even the dock doesn't pop up on mouseover, etc).
I've definitely never seen this in previous versions, although it
could be that Fin2008 is merely hanging instead of crashing. (I
actually liked the crashing better, since then I could just
relaunch and get back to work.)
Anyone else observe this?
Cheers,
- Darcy
