For some time my partner's company were experiencing system crashes using Win98/2000, I persuaded them to install MD 8.0 on one lesser used PC to hopefully eliminate the problem. It didn't work as I expected, the MD PC didn't crash but sufferred from random screen freezes. As the building takes it's electricity from a sub-station shared with an industrial unit which uses fairly heavy electric motors I suspected the power supply to the building was to blame and suggested a good UPS - they didn't take up this suggestion but about a year on they had a new network installed which is protected by a UPS. Now to the point, yesterday while typing an e mail the screen froze on the standalone MD system but the recently installed network which runs through a new UPS was unaffected. About 1-2 mins later an employee noticed that the clock on the wall was running backwards. I think this confirms my doubts about the building's power supply but before I recommend investigation in this area I would appreciate any thoughts. -- http://www.poogle.co.uk
