Mark,

I have this problem also. I have to hit the power button to get out of it. It does not happen if FPW is opened first.

On my other machine I also get Watcom Win32 read errors and the workaround for that is to open FPW first, before the memory-hogging applications. The explanation is that the memory hogs don't properly release all of the memory - whatever that means. ;-)

I've trained my FPW users to open FPW first and leafe the app open all day. Using this work-around prevents both problems.

Sorry I can't offer a real solution or a real explanation.


>Hi guys. We are getting freezes on a lot of machines that have Window 98 2nd Edition. They are double clicking on a FPW 2.6 app, that has been running for years. I have noticed that recently they are all freezing when the user just double clicks the icon. It does not happen to them every time. I have noticed that if they have Word 2000 or Excel 2000 already open, it occurs. But I also think it happens when they reboot and there is absolutely nothing else running.
