MUSHclient inevitably uses some system DLLs, including the winsock.dll which does the communications.

It is possible the problem is there, and if it is it will appear that MUSHclient has crashed when it is really the DLL. Maybe the crash dialog box would show that, possibly not.

However if your system is generally unstable, and MUSHclient crashes extremely rarely, it might just be your unstable system, and the fact that MUSHclient is a program you use a lot.

This is quite probable, which is why I initially suggesting it was a heads up to a possible problem, not a certainty of one. Here is a screen shot of the program crashing today, after using Opera yesterday, then Mushclient for 2-3 hours, then no reboot, then using Mushclient again for 4. The last thing that happened was sending something from the command window. I had to reboot to prevent it crashing again (which it did when I just re-opened it. The system had begun to actually lag at that point from over use. I have been rebooting daily for a few months now because of these problems and no desire to lose anything by accident if I reinstalled.

A quick google search implies that its a COM or OLE automation error or some sort. Though not a known one.

As I suggested, this is probably not a real bug, just my system going from mangled to maimed. :( I thought that might be the case from the start, but wasn't 100% sure, so figured I would mention it here anyway, in case it was a real problem. Sorry I wasn't more clear about that from the start.

Yes, I understand that, and thanks for letting me know.

I was just trying to eliminate whether or not MUSHclient did have some problem that was introduced in the latest version.
