I am on a NT system and my comuputer crashes in flash as well (and when I am

deep into something)I am now a compulsive saver... I don't think that this is

just a mac problem. I can't seem to find a exact repeatable way to crash it

either. I just get an application error and then flash totally closes. I

called macromedia but if they havn't had more than one call on something it is

hard to get tech help. Not to mention my elusive description about the

circumstances of the crashes. My partner is a MCSE and we have been stumped by

this. I am begining to think that it is my ora! the event log dosn't register

it... I have reinstalled everything,.. and scrubbed my hard drive. My system

is so bare due to fear of conflicts, I feel like a hyposoftdriact. Hey if

anyone else out there sees an obvious solution to this that I am overlooking I

would be eternally greatful.
