Hello,I've had My Tiger freeze up a few times than I care to remember.It has
happen with alot of different time setting.This mostley happens when I'm playing
another Tiger or a Program of equal strenght.It has happen at the mid or end
Game also,I don't remember it happening at the onset.I also am using an athlon
1.2 gig processor with 512 mb of ram on one of My P/C'S,The other is 1 gig and
256 mb of ram.This freeze up has happen on both.I also use a 2 p/c set to play
on the internet.The primary(or fastest)p/c is the one with the Chess Program and
the other I use to be on line with only.Reguardless of which p/c was doing the
thinking It had freeze ups.I've had this happen with other Programs shutingdown
also.I've recentley switched Operating Systen to Windows 2000 Professional and
this seems to help cut down on the amount of shutdowns/freeze up over Windows 98
or Windows ME.I've also have sevral posts here conserning this same Topic.A
reply to My post here said that "overclocking" might be the cause.I'm not sure I
know what overclocking is.Another Thing that has helped Me is that I stop
playing and turn off the P/cs and alow them to cool down and rest after sevral
"tuff" Games.It seems to cut down on the amount of crashes also.Hope You can get
something useful from this.>>>>Mike
