They were both in the same state as above. I was pushing loads of about 15 and using Xorg quite smoothly (with Nvidia drivers), also decoding mp3 stream with no skips or interruptions. Then I launched OpenOffice.org-1.1.4. I got the splash screen and the entire interface froze, no pings, nothing. Forced to perform a software reset. Is this information useful? Is there something else I can do as a ULE "tester" to make these data more useful? -- Regards, Doug
