I have a kind of "freezing" experience when I type messages TB checks mail. I continue typing but nothing is displayed on the screen. When the mail check is over, all everything I had typed is sent from the buffer to the screen, so nothing is lost. Somebody reported before that TB "loses" letters when mailchecking. (I cannot confirm that either.) So, it is appears that TB's mailcheck uses a lot of resources, and it depends on the individual computer setup where these resources are "stolen" from. Does that make sense? -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. I intend to live forever - so far, so good.

I used to have a similar problem all the time, but it was scrolling in any program. There are (or at least used to be) ways of trimming how much memory winamp uses. If other programs step into that range, winamp starts skipping. I adjusted my settings, and it went away most of the time... but more ram will more than likely help too. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQA/AwUBPjgL/iuD6BT4/R9zEQLTNwCfQV9dI/Mr3C0dV7ubOPAvZZzapm4AnRck 2RWRs6dOBceonOmap5g5MA29 =gC5s -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Nice feature, but makes me feel like an 'old fart' when I don't recognize ANY of the items appearing in those lines! I guess all the music I'm interested in stopped around 1990. My playlist in MM Jukebox includes over 20,000 tunes, 99% prior to 1990. I'm off to search for such a utility for Winamp.

Hi, How does some people's signatures contain the text saying some audio file is being played with Winamp? I first thought this was a feature in the bat 1.63 beta but later saw someone with 1.62 also had it. I can't find any such option in the Perferences or in the Options menu. Can someone tell me how to do that? Is it using some macro? -- Best regards, chinchi Using The Bat! v1.62i on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
