My computer (XP home SP2) froze and was churning away on 2 versions of
dumprep.exe. It seems to happen when I am modifying or editing large picture
files. A reboot fixes it but its time consuming. Am I doing something to
trigger it or is there a way to avoid it ?
I suspect it may be from re-clicking an action when it doesn't start fast
enough. A bad habit.
Thanks for the help. You guys are awesome.

Thank you, Rhonda Lea. ;-)

I was in Phoenix for a month wondering how on earth anyone can live there in
the summer with temperatures over 100 every day and the lows in the mid 80s
at night.

High of 79°F here today and a low of 52 last night. Now that's the way to
live!

Gatorade.

Evap cooling, and when humidity gets too high, refrigeration
used sparingly.

Except in winter when it gets really cold, snows (with those summer
temps. I assume it does wherever you are), and roads get icy.

When you have that, we have the 79/52 mentioned above.

Every location has its extremes, I guess. You just get
used to them.

We had plenty of bottled water.

We were either outside or on the kill floor of a beef packing plant. There
were a number of evap coolers and personnel fans on the kill floor, but not
enough. If you were not right in front of a cooler or a fan it was not much
fun. At least the humidity was low.

For a while I thought that there was something wrong with the AC unit in my
motel room. There was, it must have been sized too small, it ran
constantly. :-D

Where my folks lived on the central coast of California those could have
been year round temperatures. Ooh! I just checked the weather for Paso
Robles, CA, high of 101°F today. At least they are going to have a low of
59°F.

In my case, you're correct, it does get cold and snow here, Northern
Colorado.

It's all relative and what you get used to.

I like to sit by my fireplace. You must like to sit by, or in, your
swimming pool. ;-)
