WinXP and Agent 1.8

[earthdick]

I finally got around to installing XP. Without any TSR's loaded I've had freezing of the OS since I installed Forte Agent 1.8. When I
scroll down to view a usenet message or email in Agent, the program locks up tight and so does the OS. I have to do a reset to use the rig again. This is getting frustrating. So much for XP being crashproof.:mad: I didn't have this problem with RC2, there have been no hardware changes. I don't have this problem with Win2k Pro. I have tried the following as suggested by previous posts in alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent;

Turned off indexing for the hard drives;
Changed the Advanced Attributes to no boxes checked;
Write/Read/View Permissions to every user;
Quotas turned off;
Used the bugzilla reg fix to use Agent with Netscape 6.2 installed.
Compatibility with Win2k used with compatablility wizard (I didn't
have this problem with Win2k, same hardware);

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated, or it's back to Win2k Pro for me.

ABSOLUTELY..........download any updates from MS ?

latest version of your software ?

I downloaded all the updates from MS for XP right after I ran setup. I have the latest version of Forte Agent which is 1.8/32.553. I haven't installed any other programs since setup. It's just the OS and Agent, they don't want to play nice with each other. XP is useless to me, if I can't use my email/usenet program with it.

I found the answer! I have a Radeon DDR 32mb video card and on the ATI website it says "The RADEON driver included with Windows XP does NOT support OpenGL". I downloaded the correct driver and no problems so far.
Thanks.
