When running a rdk install/create from my vista machine, if i touch anything else, a task bar item, speaker volume, etc., it hangs. This requires ending the task and starting over. The same thing happens when doing appbackup/restore.

<QUOTE>By 'hanging' do you mean you get Not Responding in the title bar?



If so, then this is more common on Vista than XP, at least it is for me. I am putting Yield() calls in my code at relevant points to avoid this, as Vista thinks as a processor timeslice has not been seen for a short while, it thinks its hung, when its just busy doing something.



It needs to be allowed for now more often with Vista.

I suspect the RDK does not have enough Yields, and is probably busy running along... but I could be wrong.

This of course is a Revelation side issue.



There might be some Vista settings to reduce this.



Just a hunch and trying to help, but it could be something else... for others to advise.

<QUOTE>Yes - it is not responding. You have to end the task and restart it. I ended up returning the vista machine and purchasing an xp machine. Vista was just too unstable with OI.

<QUOTE>A wise decision. I would not blame OI so much, it is Vista as well.

There are all sorts of issues that I get, such a the first paste of the day not working, drag/drop of files across a network connection crashing, Screen frames being made into thick frames when the system is not fast enough... and many more.



What Revelation need to do is to ensure that all us developers (Rev included) understand the changes that are required to programming techniques to ensure that Vistas approach to system interaction and handling is workable with OI.
