>I would think that it is something fishy about these computers, Ira, (and all who replied) First, thanks for replying. Second, your diagnosis might very well be the case. However, know that these freeze-ups do not occur everytime I hit the "N" key while scrolled down deep into the list of children. Likewise, it seems to me that other programs that are open and running at the time (when, if fact, other programs are open and running, which isn't always the case) would be effected. That is not so. All other programs, including the OS (Win95), continue to operate as expected. In addition, the solution mentioned by Don McKee (ReStart > EndTask) seems to be the only way out. The last time this event occured, I continued to use other programs, as well as open other programs, with no ill-effect, while CFTW continued to run in the background it in its stalled state hoping that it would eventually wake up. It didn't. For the record, Joseph, I am running Win95 4.00.950 B, and CFTW 2.32x. I forget there are other platforms out there. And by the way, the slams against Win95 might be warranted, but they are otherwise unfounded in my experience. In the year and a half I've been running Win95, and daily at that, I have experienced no real problems. I love it. On the other hand, my father has a new system running Win98, and he has had nothing but problems. The thing stays locked up, and has in fact been in the shop more often than out. Blaming the OS seems a cheap and easy way to explain away a potential problem. Again, these freeze-ups are not that big of a problem. They rarely occur, and they don't seem to effect the content of my data files (thank heavens). I mentioned them just to see if others were experiencing similar events. Apparently some are. Which brings up another question... How can you know that any given problem is system-specific? My guess is that a good number of CFTW users experience this freeze-up problem, but because it is not too serious, and because most people simply accept and expect a few hang-ups (shucks, most folks would never even write to the author of a program, regardless of the size of the problem), that this type and size of problem generally goes unnoticed by the author. I guess my question is, how many systems would need to be effected for a system-specific problem to become otherwise? Finally, this problem is no big deal, and I am otherwise very pleased with CFTW. When asked by others which software package is "the best," I always tell them CFTW is my favorite. Thanks again for all your replies. Greg Tomerlin Lebanon, TN greg.tomerlin@nashville.com
