Every once in a while you get someone in this group that tends to talk a lot
without knowing what they are talking about.
I'm not your buddy with pirated software and an messy, inadequate, oveloaded
OS. The operating system is Win2k SP2 that has only been installed for 8
months, reinstalled when as soon as I took it out of the box, with no
programs other than volume control running in the tray and nothing in
startup.
I don't spend hours complaing about anything. This is practically the only
way that I can get IV to crash regularly. I'm not whining about losing
productivity either. It just annoys me that this happens. I'd rather IV just
lock all IV files so they can't be moved, copied or deleted while IV is
running.
I'm not going to REINSTALL WINDOWS, because I'm not convinced that it is a
Windows problem. It will happen everytime with IV, but never happens with
Word, Excell, MDT or AutoCAD. It's the same deal if you use design assistant
while IV is open. I also don't think that the problem is unheard of
elsewhere. The last time I talked about DA crashing IV, I got responses from
people that knew what I was talking about.
I didn't say 'this product (edited)', 'I'm switching to SW if this isn't
addressed' or any of the other usual lines. I'd just like to see the problem
addressed in the future. I'm sorry if that bothered you.
