PING Silj......AdAware 1.05 (ptui!!)
I am so fed up with the damn thing freezing up on me (usually about 600
files in) that I have now removed it totally and will just stick with Spybot. 1.04 was awful and 1.03 froze a time or two......so whatever they are doing, they ain't doing it right (as the Loon would say). Give me back the old, reliable version 6.xxx!! And if you want me to post this on Lavasoft Forum, you betcha I will!!!! (G) Figgs |

FWIW, Heather - the freezes are apparently only because you're doing other
things at the time (try going out to dinner while the scan is running, rather than fiddling with the system!g) It's never balked on me yet (although I have to admit I use it mostly in XP, rather than ME) -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Heather" wrote in message ...

Heather,
No freezes here on ME. I set it to scan and let it run.

I have only run "Smart System" and Custom scans to date. No problems as yet. I'm still on ME but, XP Home is in the box waiting for me to make hardware changes before upgrading.

Same here, Figgs. Even on this ol' box w/Me, it is running just
fine.....of course, I have yet to get Spyware Blaster to work in the Windows mode. Heirloom, old and maybe it just doesn't like psychics. "TomV" wrote in message ... Heather, No freezes here on ME.

SMACK!! I wasn't running anything else when I ran it......and I was just
doing the Smart scan. I would say it freezes every 3rd time I use it. It is now gone off this computer and I am not about to put it back on here!! Unless I download a new one and try that. Spybot takes much longer, but never screws up on me.....oops, *freezes* up on me. (G) Grumbling to myself......gonna put that durned XP on here so stuff will work, mumble, *itch, complain, natter....... Heather 8-(((( "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

Still running v1.03 which doesn't freeze under any conditions. You'll notice at Lavasoft Support they've broken down the support into O/S categories.

That's funny, Figgs, cos when you update to SP2 it'll put it's own NVidia drivers on there anyway! If you had a slipstreamed SP2 cd you wouldn't have needed to touch the drivers in the first place. You should both get an SP2 cd (cover discs or probably at the check out of your major computer store) ready for when you get round to the XP installation. Shane |
