    Hi all!

    So I set up a completely new allfix 6 using the universal version, running on windows xp.

    I added all the filegate.txt file, one group, and one node. Still freezes on a scan or mgr command. I'm completely baffled!!!



    Cheers... Dallas

    so there are no other existing data files from previous installs?

    have you changed anything else, recently?


    related anecdote: my binkd and allfix v5 universal were causing each other to hang... i had to switch my binkd to a build built with a different compiler... the only real eWAG was there was some semaphore (memory based) that was conflicting between them... this was on OS/2, though...

    Nope -- it was fine, and then just stopped! :-( I gather that's happened to someone else, too.

    Interesting. I still think computers belong in the category of the Black Arts!
