apologies again for posting semi-off topic "OS" responses, but since this
has come up by a few different people, i can assume that a number of people
are using win2k, and probably some are producing idm, and i would hope at
least listening to it :D
the "automatic restart" is actually a default setting in win2k. meaning
that it can also be changed. essentially, the automatic restarts occur
when the computer would otherwise crash. for example, if you try to burn a
cd without updating the aspi driver, you will 'crash', and instead of
crashing and acting mad, it just restarts.
yes, it's dumb, but it can be changed. unfortunately since i'm no longer
using winME, i forgot where the setting was. but i *did* find it and i no
longer experienced the restarts. :D
i suppose to make this on-topic - i would suggest using winME for windows
music apps, as i've had very few problems with it and most of the
advantages of win2k can be counteracted by simply saving more often :D
cheers,
