Title: MC 11 Spontaneous Abort Problem
Post by: Dubster on July 17, 2005, 03:24:06 pm

Here are problems I've had in testing MC11:

1) Spontaneous abort, twice causing system reboot, once just making MC disappear.  Doesn't seem to matter if anything is playing.

2) Help file not installed on last couple of updates.

My system is an AOpen MX3S (Bios R1.22) w/Via C3 (Nehamiah) and Abit Radeon 9550 video card.

In the FAQ here, there are some helpful threads on system stability.  An application problem in MC can't cause the OS to reboot.
