Windows at fault - again
dbl221:
I think the most significant OS type problem....ie not application.....is Windows lack of good memory and process management....thats the reason why a Windows box has to be rebooted every week or so(every 2 days for Win95-98).
Also the lack of scripting support built in to the OS.....WSH is not not up to the Unix standard...perl was ported to NT to solve this but thats not part of the OS.
The crappy memory management and process management is the reason why your application dies it kills the OS as well

That progress bar is near usleess. The thing fills in with uniform blocks so you never actually get an acurate readout. On the MAC and other OS's the bar actually grows incrementaly (not uniformly) to indicate the precise state of progress.

im using redhat 7.1 and i have caused the OS to lock up a few times. Redhat isnt perfect but its free.

Although it is not impossible to lock RedHat up completely, it usually is X that is locked up and not the OS. I've found that when this happens (hasn't happened in a long time) I can just ssh into the problem machine from one of my others and restart Xwindows (init 3;init 5) and be on my way without actually rebooting the machine. Again, I don't think I've had this happen with the 7.x releases.

Those blocks are filling up rather strangely in that Scan Disk app. It
