- I feel a little better reading your story now.....You seem to be the only one
- having even more trouble than me....My LW works most of the time but will
- just in-explicably not launch sometimes....No error messages or anything,
- just starts loading and then freezes...When this happens i have to
- re-install it because it just won't work anymore even on a cold boot. I
- have noticed if I seem to use it alot during one session(quiting and
- restarting) then my chances of it locking up seem to be a little greater
- the next time I use Windows. What bugs me is that I am not getting any
- error messages or anything, it justs hangs for seemingly no reason....Oh
- well I guess I should be happy it works at 60-75% of the time which is
- better than not at all.
