I downloaded 2.2.1, but every time i try to load it, it freezes my machine. I was thinking that this was related to memory problems i was experiencing, but after playing "musical memory chips" to ferrett out the bad chip, XPostFacto still freezes my machine. 2.2 didn't do this, so i am still able to boot into X. just not with 2.2.1. do you think that 2.2.2 will fix this? I have an 8500 w/ sonnet G4/400 and 608 MB ram (all working, per NewerTech GURU) |

i tried trashing the prefs file, but that didn't help. the drives aren't unusual, i don't think... i am a programmer type, but i don't have macsbug installed, cause the programming i was doing was mainly for school projects- no programs of any use (unless you want to amortize a loan for 100 years...) or java stuff, which i didn't use a debugger for cause i'm such an amazing genius when it comes to java...:) I'm guessing the system won't freeze with macsbug running, cause with a frozen computer, macsbug would be worthless. i'll give it a shot tonite... |

I had a similar problem with an earlier version of XPF. I believe it was the first version that offered "throttling" (2.2b7?}. I trashed the prefs file and had no further problems. |

Interesting. If you happen to be a programmer type, and have MacsBug handy, it would be interesting to see what it reports. But I wouldn't suggest installing it if you aren't familiar with it. Does anything at all get written to your XPostFacto Log (in your Preferences folder)? Is there anything unusual about the volumes you have mounted at the time? |

Does it freeze your machine when XPostFacto launches, or when you hit the "Restart" button, or after the computer restarts and is trying to boot Mac OS X? |
