What OS did you use at the time? Was it GS> intermittent problem not identifiable, or otherwise? At the time I was running Win2k SP1. So far, all that I witnessed having the same problems as I had were running Win2k as well. It would therefore seem to be a Win2k specific problem. Note however, that not all Win2k users that use ZA have problems. Those running Win98 don't seem to have problems of the nature I've been referring to. I have no idea about XP but I'd watch out as an XP user since it's just the later version of Win2k. The problem was intermittent at first and always cured by a reboot. Sometimes I had to reboot multiple times to correct the problem. Initially the connection problems occurred only with TB!, then it progressed to involve my internet connection in general. Disabling ZA didn't help and it was this part that was most devastating in terms of the frustration. I felt that disabling the firewall should nullify any connection problems ZA would cause. Well, it didn't, and it took a while for me to realize this. I was blaming Win2k the whole time!! There's one good thing that came out of the experience. This was my sensitization to the fact that adverse software interactions are common and can be very difficult to pick up since we often blame the malfunctioning application as the direct cause of the problem. Though the application itself will usually be the cause of problems confined to use of the application itself, don't forget the lurking software interaction ESPECIALLY when others cannot reproduce the problem you're experiencing. - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.61 | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAj0yOFMACgkQV8nrYCsHF+KBzwCfbX9MQhZsL9ijgXYeU2vpiQ4X hbQAn3kMBNPh3WfiqPRpTvlCqaxmSTFX =UgJP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
