While Aaron might be able to make some use of that, we do not have the source code to work from.

Please describe what you did to cause it.

Happens from time to time, some times I go to "Look" at a ship and I click and nothing, not new window nothing then after a few sec. (apx 15) I will get the pop up

Do you have your system set to turn off your harddrives after X minutes? That would explain the delay as they spin up.

What about Hardware & OS?
Have you done a scandisk/defrag lately?

Have you tried dusting off your RAM, or pulling it out and reseating it to make sure you have good contact?

WILL TRY THAT

Win ME, eh? I reccommend upgrading to 98 when you have a chance.

Daily defrag is almost certainly too much. Drives do have a limited lifetime, and grinding away day in and day out is not good.
Try monthly, or even annually depending on how much use and the size/free space on the drive.

Personally, I defrag in the "never" category. My files get sorted when I copy them to a bigger drive.

WinME was a poorly done OS. It was an attempt to get away from buggy, old 16 bit legacy code, and this it did reasonably well. Unfortunately, there were no protections or warnings to prevent 16 bit code from running. Any time a 16 bit program or driver was loaded, it crashed.
