Ha ha, me too - I guess thats why its called a catch

Sure I bet. Oh well I guess it scores a 50% success rate then (n=2)

W2K has only blue screened me twice, and in those cases the motherboard was
dying. The IDL "crashes" I refer to are just application exceptions, which
just kill off that app. However I'm curious now as I have had this problem
with many windows machines - So lets do a Poll:
Who else out there has noted IDL crashing while clicking from one panel to
another in the win-IDE, and if so : roughly how often, and do you use HASP
or software licence?
cheers,
Martin

Win98SE and Win95 with HASP, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4. Never crashed so I cannot
even blame Bill for my programs not working for other users :-(
