Maybe you have a problem with your remote.
I don't think the remote is the problem given than the errors and crashes often happen when I'm simply navigating around the Girder tree -- i.e. I'm not using the remote at the time, but rather I simply highlight a branch and I get an error or a crash.
You are in danger of sounding like some of the newbies who come here and say stuff like 'MC won't play files so it must be a bug in MC'.
I think if you look at my post you'll see that I'm not making any judgemental statements about the program -- in fact, I mentioned in one of my posts that it seems like Girder may actually solve my issues. I'm simply reporting exactly what I'm experiencing with total accuracy, which is an undue amount of errors at the moment. I asked if the program is stable with Win2K thinking that this was perhaps an issue. Nowhere did I make any all encompassing remarks about the program or place any "blame" for the errors -- I simply reported my current predicament.
I actually did check the Girder forums, and it seems like others are experiencing similar issues. It's hard to tell, but it may be due to the particular plugin (i.e. the X10 plugin) which could explain why you're not experiencing this issue. It could also be any number of other things -- virus scanner, firewall, etc. -- but it's definitely "related" to Girder since it's so consistant, and since this system is so stable otherwise.
I should mention again that I VERY much appreciate the help you've given me here -- I've made HUGE steps in the last few hours toward getting my system fully working, and this was primarily due to your specific input. I still think Girder may in fact be the answer to my situation, and I would not have persued it had you not offered the suggestions and answers to my questions.
I also want to thank IlPadrino for his information in another thread regarding the "resources.xml" file and the command to directly bring up Theater View.
Thanks again,
Larry
