Hi Bob,

Thankyou very much for sharing that experience.
Atleast i know im not alone or imagining all this

If these things are in a casino, I'd assume that the AC mains is pretty
noisy so you might be seeing something similar.

Yes definantly.
But i installed a voltage regulator to feed a ups for _each_ machine along
with the new motherboards.
Surely this must clean up the power ?

Its also not just displaying this problem at random times - once it has
started, it wont go away until the motherboard is replaced with a new one.
So something is cooking . slowly. argh.

Alex.

Did you try swapping used motherboards between machines? Could the BIOS
be corrupted?

Your UPS trial won't have worked if the problem is noise in the
grounding.

In these cases, brainstorming can sometimes work. Almost no test is 'too
crazy to bother with'.

Today MS Word2000 started to consistently freeze up when clicking any
hyperlinks. It also fails to show all ".htm" files. It hangs badly, the
CPU fan comes on etc. Sometimes I could close it, other times it needed
the Ctrl-Alt-Del. No viruses. Couldn't find any hints on the MS support
site. Did anybody else have that happen and found out what was wrong?

My Word lately crashes every time I try to exit it. Microsoft can't
write code; they contracted out EDIT, which is why it always works. I
only use Word when I absolutely have to.

I'd almost be willing to bet that M$ didn't even "contract out" EDIT, they
simply lifted it, maybe from DR.

Thanks,
Rich

At least with nothing connected, you can still duplicate
the problem... perhaps touching the switch is adding capacitance to the
system, allowing enough ambient noise to influence operation?

Or pushing volts of r.f. from the local radio stations on to the wire
that was still connected to the switch. Been there!

'The switch doesn't work with only one wire connected, so why do I have
to disconnect both of them?'

You can determine speed and angle of impact from the characteristics of
the crater itself. I've been there, and for several miles along the road,
there are some of the weirdest-looking rocks I've ever seen - I speculate
that they're frozen globs of condensed ejecta. It's a pretty impressive
hole, after all.

As far as speed and impact angle, it was probably early in the morning.

Cheers!

General advice on this topic:

Never use a standard motherboard in an embedded system.
The quality of the layout and the noise margins are too
much of an unknown. I would use a board from one of the
well-known embedded vendors.

Never use any version of Microsoft Windows in an embedded
system. There are too many thousands of bugs that MS refuses
to address. Linux is good, BSD is better, QNX is the most
stable, crashproof and bug-freeOS on earth. (A few other
RTOSs come close).

Never run a program in an embedded system that was written
by someone who knows general-purpose programming but is not
an expert in real-time embedded systems programming.

Hi John,

I have a similar file. It's a .TXT file, and I use EDIT. I haven't had
any problems with hyperlinks.

Interesting. Which one is it? When I searched in Google there were tons,
like VEdit, Winedit and so on. I need something that can do ".htm"
files, can create hyperlinks _and_ jump from these hyperlink to the
respective page. Most software can do either/or which is no good for
handling a Wiki, where you enter info and also use the same interface to
browse older info.

Excuse my twisted humor. It's the EDIT.COM that comes with Windows 98,
and of course it doesn't have trouble with hyperlinks because it's a
plain ASCII text editor.

My three most valuable computer tools are EDIT, PowerBasic, and C32, a
universal cross-assembler.

Excellent! I thought there had to be a simple solution. Thanks for

In a 555 the capacitor charge currents and comparator levels are
ratiometric to Vcc. This gives you the same output frequency for any
stable Vcc. However, if the value of Vcc changes significantly _within_
a period then a frequency deviation will result. I assume that you
could also see significant injection locking with a 555.
