Hi Janice,
 
 1-> Such as what are you doing when it hangs?
 2-> What does it do when it hangs?
 3-> Your operating system  DOS, Windows?
 4-> Your computer? How much memory.
 JP> I will check in to what you recommended. Well, the times it has hung
 JP> have been with two different packets from two different boards, so it
 JP> is unlikely it was just a faulty QWK but it could be my program.
 Probably NOT a bad packet then....  
 One other Suggestion and I only recommend it if all else fails----
 is to copy your qmpro.phn file to another directory (It is in the Qmpro
 Directory)  Then Del Qmpro and do a new install. Then copy qmpro.phn back
 into your qmpro directory.  Let it copy over the existing file.
 JP> I don't know what version it is. Oh hold on: 1.52 for DOS.
 This is the Version that had the Pkzip problem.
 I would sugest you get the QMPRO153.exe upgrade patch.
 besides it is nice to have the latest version.
 JP> 1. I am just typing my response and I'm hung.
 Ok, does it only do it when you are making replies?  Or does it
 do it when you are reading?  Or both? Suggestion---Check to make sure your
 directories are setup correctly like I suggested before.
 JP> 2. It just sits there and then I reboot.
 Does your Keyboard lock up (will the lights on it ligh up?)
Do you reboot by using the CTRL/ALT/DEL Method or Your reset switch?
 JP> 4. 8 megs.
 Plenty of Memory.  What version of dos are you running? Have you tried
 memmaker to get some more memory? Could you post your Autoexec.bat and
 Config.sys files so I or some one could see if there may be a problem there.
Also make sure there are no TSR loaded into memory when you are running QMP
they may be causing the problem?
  JP> Oh, and where would I look for those replies I did and would like to
 JP> retrieve somehow.
 If they are not in your upload directory, then they are probably gone.
Good Luck
Ken
... That's not a bug! It's a "Sorry, must reboot" feature!
