Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

using 1.2a and NT4.0 SP5, if i enable quick launch, or have a browser or mail
window open without quick launch "running", and leave the machine for 2 to 4
hours, when i come back to the machine it is hung.  the screen saver is frozen,
or if it is still moving, it freezes once i hit a key or move the mouse. 
without a browser/mail window open and quick launch shut off, the machine has no
problem after 8 to 12 hours.  i havent left it idle longer than that in the last
week.

cannot reproduce here- leave my QL on and app off/on overnight- 

reporter, what else do you have running on your machine that might be in conflict?

from reporter:
typically, my machine runs with both quicken 2001 and quickbooks pro 2000
active, either minimized in the foreground or not on the desk top but with
background processes running, in addition to the windows explorer.   i started
using mozilla 1.0.1, then 1.1, 1.2a and now 1.2b.  havent had any funny stuff
happen with 1.2b so far(4 days), so it looks like this is a non issue now.

typically i keep the mail window on the desktop as well, most of the time it is
minimized.  and the machine is alive pretty much all the time.

hope this helps.
