I will leave this replay short: have you ever built
castles in the sand? they fall apart!
I have had some problems with prosuite, but nothing
major. What I did for sp4 was reformat the hard drive
(saving the data) and start fresh and it was like a
whole different product.
I don't know if omega is not 'treating' windows well,
or is windows is just in general buckling under a high
intensity product but starting with a fresh install of
windows made all the difference for me... no more
crahses.
