   On 18 Jun 19  09:28:35, Roger Nelson said the following to Mark Lewis:

   RN> Bo Nick, if I have been running, as mark says, on a single-core, then I

   If you start Windows Task Manager and it reports more than one CPU core, then    
   you should be running using the shortcut I created for you; which tells the    
   mailer to use only one core.    
      
   The reason for this, is because the D'Bridge code in how it runs on NTVDM,    
   which is the Windows DOS service, is not properly supported for multi-core    
   usage. It appears the system timer is not properly emulated or reported.   
      
   The tell-tale sign of this problem is when D'Bridge hangs (freezes) completely   
   at the midnight Auto-Update event. The clock seconds freeze at zero.   
      
   If the problem still occurs with startup delays on Windows 7, then we need to   
   do troubleshooting as I mentioned before. I am not seeing anything outright    
   which would be causing this problem to happen.
