I am using THINK C 4.x, and am experiencing weird crashes. during a routine to detect double clicks in the content region of a window, the weirdest crash happens: the mac freezes up, mouse stops, and when i press the interrupt switch to get into TMON a couple of tones come from the speaker (not junk tones, nice ones) in a repetitive cycle. anybody ever have this happen before? .....Jeff

Re-seat your SIMMs, and try again (this will correct well over half of these occurrences). If this doesn't work, there's a way to tell from the tones which part of your memory is failing - but I forget what it is off the bat. If reseating the SIMMs doesn't work, use your AppleCare (you DO have AppleCare?) and get the box serviced. -- Mark Hartman, N6BMO "What are you just standing there for?
