I have had numerous crashes with Voyager... both with just a simple
OS3.1 installation and with OS3.5.

I upgraded to OS3.9 last week. In installed/updated to AWeb3.4UHF,
and cannot do a thing with it now! Crashes galore!
I have used IBrowse every day, sometimes for 5 hours at a time, and
have not had one crash with it.
Voyager Alpha crashed a LOT for me, but I get far less with the old
version (3.2.13???... not sure, I would have to look)

I would bet that it is definitely some conflicting application, as
you suggest.
> What programs have caused the other 30 crashes?
And I thought I crashed a lot... well, actually I did before I went
to OS3.5, and now that I have OS3.9, I am finding my system runs a
hell of a lot smoother and has only soft-gurued (the yellow one) on
three occasions in the last week. That is an all time LOW for me!!!
OT - NOW, all I have to do is find some way to easily convert all
the hundreds of old NewIcons to the new NewIcons that OS3.5/3.9
use.... any suggestions privately, please. : )))
This one at a time with IconEdit is for the birds!!!
TIA
