Sadly none of these is the source of the error. I've literally reinstalled a virgin copy of MC 2.5, deinstalled all earlier copies of MC and -still- had it crash.
Oddly the help stacks are the best instance of causing the crash. The hyperlinks in the "See also" never function and cause the crash. I'm sure this must be an error on my machine - but where. The reason I think its my machine is that when I set my color depth to a joyous 4 bits (or was it 4 colors? Anyway, the lowest setting possible) the stacks function fine (though obviously with no color worth speaking of). I've tried cleaning my registry, disabling all autostart proggies, including antivirus, and running offline. I'm sort of at wits end here, though I can work around using basilisk and 2.2. This is actually why I didn't beta RR - I thought it was just an RR problem at first because for whatever reason RR crashes more frequently on my idiosyncratic machine. SO my question is, whatever could be the source of this idiosyncracy? Memory leaks? And what possible cures are there? (P.S. my machine has virus protection, and I never use outlook or address books so I doubt its a virus - otherwise other proggies would get bitten, and they don't). >>Avoid HTML text with images in fields - superbe feature, definite party crasher! (2.4>) Yes, my experience too, though YMMV? In any event: Not the culprit. >ImagesData manipulations can also wreak havoc... Will probably corrupt your stack too! (Any version which supports it) Not the culprit. >Making 2 fields synchronize each other's VScroll will kill MC with lots of flashes while your flds scroll. (Any version) Not the culprit. >Last but not least of my experience in crashing MC is the infinite loop trick. It's impossible to get out of it UNLESS you put in some statements to make MC work and thus look at the keyboard... (any version - you wanted execution speed?) Doesn't MC implement COMMAND PERIOD to stop scripts like a speeding bullet? Anyway, I do not think this is the culprit. The thing hangs on a clean install of MC 2.4 and 2.5 whenever I try to use the MetaCard reference stack and "see also". Sorry to bug people this way, but I really am at wits end and would do my best to return the favor of advice.
