That's why I said "fairly". One can never be sure but after some |
| 20 |
testing, I don't think it is hardware. I'm getting more sure of that as |
| 21 |
time goes on too. ;-) |

I don't think I am logged in long enough to change the settings. I may |
| 41 |
try my test user but I think a file got corrupted or something. I did |
| 42 |
have a power failure the other day and the relay on my UPS was not quite |
| 43 |
fast enough. I think the contacts may need some cleaning. My UPS does |
| 44 |
some odd things at times. I need a new one but they are pricey. I had |
| 45 |
forgot about the power failure issue. That has lead me down a different |
| 46 |
path now. |

I have seen this cause my desktop to freeze before. Usually when it has |
| 57 |
trouble seeing the printer or starting itself then kills itself after a |
| 58 |
few seconds. Once it dies, the desktop comes back. This is just a more |
| 59 |
permanent freeze. I did wait a couple times but it never come back. |

Working on a re-emerge to see if it corrects this issue. |
