Ye, gods! What could cause Windows to go flaky?
I may have mentioned this has been working for some time and just started
last week.
I'll ask again, what changed? New software installed? Upgrade to Office?
New virus scanner? Power failures due to thunderstorms? (We had a couple
clients lose hardware last week. Sometimes hardware's flaky after T-storm)
Because it is so critical to his business this is the only application he
runs on this particular machine.
Good to know. It's probably not a recent MS patch, as those are the 2nd
Tuesday. It's worth scanning the machine for malware. Clean out all the
temp files. Defrag the drive. Check to make sure the NIC is well-seated, if
appropriate. And replace the network cable.
Oh, and try the app on another machine to see if you see the same behavior.
That will confirm it's the machine, and not something funky in the network
or printer's buffer or something.
Ted: This machine is not connected to the Internet. He is very
protective of this application and knowing what it does, I really like
his protection.
He does not run updates on this machine either. It is only the .vcx
that is causing the problem. It uses a ton of windows API's to
basically disable them when encountered in a flat file. Your idea that
it is spooling makes the best sense. But what could be happening?
Thanks,
Jeff
