- We've seen occasional mouse problems here and there. Until I saw this
- report I thought that the only outstanding ones were with the logitech
- "cloaking" and with Executor under Windows NT.
-
- First, try getting 1.99q7. We fixed some non-mouse related bugs that
- are deep enough into Executor that there's a slim chance that they
- will get rid of the problem. If that doesn't work, do this (requires
- 1.99q7):
-
- executor > backtrac
-
- Then when Executor locks up type Ctrl-BREAK (BREAK is probably the
- right most key on your keyboard up on the row with the function keys
- on it). That should leave a backtrace in the file "backtrac". If you
- then send us a copy of backtrac with an explanation that will help us
- get a handle on what's going on.
-
- Dambiel> Please help, I really want to try out executor but am
- Dambiel> getting kind of pissed at this point.
-
- Well, if it's any consolation, we're working around the clock to get
- Executor 2 to work with all sorts of hardware/software combinations
- that we don't have in house. I apologize for the inconvenience you've
- been put through. I suspect we can get things going once we know a
- little more.
