Every now and then RB gets me caught in a loop of something and gets paralyzed.

The only solution Alt-Ctrl-Del / End now.

Re-open RB - the infamous "Your computer crashed last time . . . . Okay to restore all default settings (MY SETTINGS or FACTORY SETTINGS - which do you consider default????? )

Yes or No - NO - I'd like the settings I've probably spent hours tweaking.
So I don't choose "defaults".

Then comes "Recover data from last session" - So I say yes.
Then I get an error - "Could not open the file .....etc."
So I click "OK" . . . . then nothing . . . . . I click OK again . . . Nothing . . . .Frozen. Only Alt-Ctrl-Del, then back through the loop just described.
It won't even let me Minimize RB and get to my desktop.
With 2.5 G ram, there should be some sort of button to free us from this type of mess and automatically save whatever it was we were working on before we messed up. There will be no BK file waiting.

Any solutions beyond pressing the big NUKE button.

I'll be patient and wait to see if there are any of the brain trust about tonight.
Thanks guys - Ian
