Re: activehome 1.3 and win2000

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxx>]

Even with the most recent version of Activehome it manages to crash 
out my PC. There's one tasks (x10comms?) that sometimes fails to 
respond and eats 100% CPU power and then it takes a frantic 20 mins 
to regain control of the PC or I have to reboot. I've tried it on 2 
PCs so far. Yes, thank heaven for Homeseer! Shame on X10 for 
producing such naff software, it does their hardware no favours. I 
think it's a 16 bit app?
