- First off - I think the CSD is great BUT read on...
-
- If I've got a number of apps running (including seamless windows), with
- swapfile at around 10MB (on 8MB system), and I go and grag a file object onto
- a program object, the following happens (about 50% of the time):
-
- Mouse pointer disappears
- Keyboard locks
- All programs freeze
- Desktop freezes
-
- This needs a *COLD* reboot to clear. It happens during the drag - I don't get
- as far as 'dropping' the file object.
-
- This only started after I installed the CSD. Its extremely annoying - I've
- started 'avoiding' doing drag & drop and use File.. Load... instead.
-
- Anybody got any ideas as to what's wrong. Usually I find OS/2 pretty stable.
- This is the sort of daft, repeatable crash that I used to *hate* with windows...
-
- Paul
