RE: memory leaks?
Sounds like your machine is most definitely infected with a virus, and not just any virus, but that most virulent and heinous of virii - the windows virus. The only cure for this is to install linux or better yet, freeBSD. -Glen > (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). ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

The standard response to "it doesn't work right here" is to update the drivers, particularly on Windows machines. Print drivers, video drivers, all are vulnerable. So that's still my advice.

Re: memory leaks?
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!

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.

> Making 2 fields synchronize each other's > VScroll will kill MC with lots of flashes > while your flds scroll. > (Any version) Xavier... I'm not getting this; my sync between two fields is very smooth (at least on Windows - I haven't tried on Mac). I made two scrolling fields with data and set the script of the first one to: on scrollBarDrag set the vScroll of field 2 to the vScroll of me end scrollBarDrag And they seem to scroll very smoothly in tandem without flashing. (MC v2.5) Can you confirm or clarify why you're getting this reaction?

Re: memory leaks?
Eric, Avoid HTML text with images in fields - superbe feature, definite party crasher! (2.4>) ImagesData manipulations can also wreak havoc... Will probably corrupt your stack too! (Any version which supports it) Making 2 fields synchronize each other's VScroll will kill MC with lots of flashes while your flds scroll. (Any version) 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?) Hope that helps corner the bad bug... -=- Xavier Bury TNS NT LAN Server ext 6465 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19/06/03 15:17 Please respond to metacard To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: ^ Subject: memory leaks? I have an odd problem: When I run metacard 2.2 under basilisk it runs perfectly fine. On the other hand, when I try to run metacard 2.4, 2.5 or revolution 1.1.1 under windows it hangs. Often. I have no idea what could be causing this behavior. I'm sure you don't either since you dont have my registry or nay of my .ini or .dll files. Still I'm hoping someone can give me a clue as to what might be causing this problem. My machine has 128mb memory, plenty of space on the hard drive. I would think it a memory problem (seems to be the case) but what could provoke it and why does it not affect MC under basilisk? ANY advice appreciated. Thanks - if I can return a favor just ask.
