Problem after transferring kma's to second laptop

[bryant]

I really want to thank you guys for responding to this and attempting to help me out as I now realize its not directly due to hoster itself.

It happens when the desktop first appears. Right when all the desktop icons first appear.
The popup is "Dr.watson postmortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close."
"send error report" "Don't send"

Regardless of whether I send or not the screen freezes at that point. The mouse still moves and when you lower the mouse down to the bottom taskbar the hourglass appears in its stead.

Thanx, Beav. The site didn't spell out too much of a solution though, but a little more of an understanding of what may be going on. The only thing that may happen now if I have to reinstall windows or reformat in order to correct the situation is that I will be requesting from Support one of those registration resets in order to reinstall the 3.303 again. Just a heads up for Admin, just in case. Hopefully I can get it repaired w/o having to do this.

Does this sound about right, Beavis?

im the reformat kind of guy. when big problems happen on a computer, i reformat. theres nothing like a fresh copy of windows.


for the record, i have only reformatted my hoster computer 1 time since ive been using hoster.



dont reformat the day before a show !

Bryant,

For future reference, after you get windows installed, and all the updates, and all the software reloaded.

Make a backup of your c: drive image with "norton Ghost". It would have formatted & completely rebuilt your system (as far as os & software) in a matter of minutes, rather than hours. also it will save you having to reset the software codes.

i forgot that step gduns in my process.


i always have a extra hard drive cloned (nortons Ghost)to the original drive. so down time is only 10 minutes.
