Rev IDE bug in Win XP script windows

[MisterX]

Hi Jim

Dont fear the PC world... it's not hard to beat...

if your pc is NOT running "Normally" - crashes and all, run a virus scan AND
a spyware scan... Update to the latest windows updates (save before you
click the last ok button... Whatever protection they gave you, if not
updated and maintained weekly, is as good as not having any (with a speed
penalty!)

if you're sure something else is wrong (do all your rev stacks work wrong?)
do other scripter's stack go wrong?

Reinstall rev - takes 3 minutes, no big deal. (rev can be backedup via copy
paste no problem after your first installation for a quick restore (less
than a minute). If you keep your project stacks out of the rev stack, it's
even easier... zipping the folder is a good as any backup... for added
security, keep the backup on a different drive (not partition).

Next if it still goes wrong, test someone elses stacks without your stacks
opened after restarting rev... single out your errors first... make sure
your environment is working ok... 

if you bought winxp home edition, it's probably just a need to reinstall
it... 
get a pro edition... it's much more solid... lots of stuff was removed from
the home edition and some crap added surely for home users... 

I run windows smoothly with no virus protection, no firewall, no IE crap and
despite all hte firefox crap and bugs, i get no bugs, no spywares, no
virii... i've been hit 2 times in 6 years... careful and documented usage
only = no problems. 

If you dont know how to drive a race car, there' isn't one team who will
lend you their car, it's a precision instrument... alas the holes in
security and the lack of user education is taking it's toll - guess that's
why no many use linux yet ;). Im sure moft will push us into it sooner or
later ;$

cheers
