- Howdy!
-
- Although some official at Digita wouldn`t believe me :) I am suffering from
- major problems with WordWorth5 - in fact it occured with 3.1, too.
-
- The problem is that WW simply crashes after I`m using it for several
- minutes - sometimes not even enough to make a new template and saving it :)
- When it crashes, the whole screen is full of vertival stripes from
- Wordworth`s palette. Then the machine resets and shows a 8...4 failure.
-
- I tried it with PICASSO=TRUE and =FALSE (as somebody told me to do to avoid
- this problem), but it still crashed.
-
- WW is a great program, but I simply can`t use it crashing every few
- minutes.
- I have NO patches running or any other problematic piece of software.
- Anyway, as WW seems to run fine on several 030 including my A12oo with the
- SAME!!! system installed (it runs a copy of my "big" machine only with the
- neccessary modifications) and 040 (inlcuding my machine before the 060
- upgrade, too), it seems that it has something to do with the processor.
-
- I must admit that I was a bit disappointed about the email of this official
- (something like: we never noticed this problem -> must be on your side).
- I`ve got certain knowledge about programming, hardware, beta-testing and
- searching for bugs and it`s not very nice to see such a well-known company
- treating customers this way :(
- BTW. We`re not all "first-timers" out here...
-
- I`ll still support Digita because I was very pleased in the past, but I`d
- like to see them treating people a bit more sensitive, especially if
- they`re suufering from problems which make it IMPOSSIBLE to work with the
- product...
