The problem I have is that OE will randomly lockup in the process of
typing out some response or an original post--only in that screen--I have
yet to see it happen in the preview pane. This is generally a Vulcan-proof
hang-only the reset button will get me going again. When it does boot, the
wierd part is that ScanDisk never runs--just starts as a normal boot. I'm
sure that the post is being written in some buffer file somewhere (though I
haven't been able to find its remnants yet), but apparently the dirty flag
never gets set. This and the pattern of occurrence is leading me to wonder
if it has something to do with some kind of buffer flag. The only pattern,
other than what I have already mentioned, is that it seems to occur just
before something is blocked by the FW (though not always--it has even done
it when offline) since there is usually a log of something having been
blocked at that time. It doesn't seem to be correlated with background
activity such as downloading. If it is possibly due to the display
(distinctly possible since we've noticed that when it hangs, the last raster
of the entered characters is often missing) I have a problem since this is
the most up-to-date driver offered by ATi (Rage 128) for this card (and I
have tried some of the older ones as well. Also of note is that when it
hangs, if one notices before entering any more strokes, and clicks on the
close button, one gets an 'error' ding. But not a second time.
I should mention that I regularly use AAwe, SBS&D, have just used both
CWShrdr & HJT and found nothing of any note--everything any of them finds is
something accountable for in the OS (W98SE) or in the relatively few
applications installed on the machine. The firewall is the version used in
CA EZArmor, the free version. By the way, when the log for the FW says
direction is 'routed' for some importuning net source, how is that different
from any other inbound attempt?
There is no consistency in occurrence, as it may happen 4 times in 15
minutes, or not once all day. Except that it seems to happen much more
often on a day in which the FW has to block many attacks.
The only possibly similar-problem posts I have found are:
<uOAZjbxWEHA.2176@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl>
<#Y1y02yWEHA.1128@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl>
<u8LQN44WEHA.3944@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl>
<#pXnXb6WEHA.3944@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl>
<#To9qQHXEHA.4000@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl>
<OB6U4LJXEHA.2408@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl>.
BTW, is there any way to get the rebarbative search function that comes
with OE to find references such as this without typing them into a post in
order to click on them?
More than one question, I know, but thanks very much for any help,
Joe
