Not just TD, but my entiry system hangs (freezes) at the end of each build,

I completely uninstalled the XPe tools and database, reinstalled XPe SP1
(tools + database), then applied SP2 to both.

This time I also applied FP2007 to both, this wasn't installed before.


Started a new target, imported a PMQ generated by TAP, added some
components, ran a dependency check, and started a build.

Result: the same as before. At the end of the build, TD as well as my
shell (desktop and task bar) stopped responding.

However, this time it got a little further than before: now the last line
added to the build log window was the warning saying you've created a
time-limited build because you forgot to enter a license key (I should have
gotten that warning the last time too, but it never appeared).


Again, I waited for minutes (longer than it would normally take an entire
build to complete) before reaching for the reset switch, but the system
remained dead.


Task manager was running to monitor CPU and memory use during the build:
CPU use dropped to 0 at the exact moment that the warning line was added to
the build log window. There was no disk activity either.

I could still navigate between the processes and performance tabs in task
manager, but as soon as I clicked the "tdesign.exe" process in the
processes tab to highlight it, task manager froze as well.


On a second attempt, TM died when I tried to enter the networking tab.

As for network: my system could still be pinged after it froze, but trying
to access it in explorer on another machine gave "Windows cannot find
\\computername\. Check the spelling [etc.]"



Has anyone ever tried storing the Mantis database on SQL Server 2005?
The installer puts it there without complaining, but could that maybe be
it?


Other installed software is almost identical to what was installed on my
previous PC, where it worked fine.

What's installed now that wasn't there:

- Microsoft VirtualPC (not running when it happened)
- Sophos antivirus, on-access scanning configured for "at write", with
exclusion of the tree where TD targets are saved.
- Windows Defender beta
- IE7 beta


Also new is the processor: this one has mutithreading. I tried to set the
affinity of tdesign.exe to a single 'processor', but that made no
difference either.
