Today I've generated dozens of errors in Rice.
This is on 2 WinXP machines.

This morning I _DID_ set both of these machines to run with a 6 day buffer instead of the 2-3 days they had. I also set them (with local preferences) to only communicate on certain days. Can that be a factor ? I don't think they're limited on disk space. The rest of my machines, WinXP and linux are just fine.
Aside from (1) rebooting [since it is Windows after all] and (2) removing the preferences changes I made this morning, both of which seem like "shot in the dark" approaches, what does this suggest I should do ?

Thanks. That would help, if they knew what it was. The techs are already working on the first error.

This one : - exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) is a system error for which a FAQ exists in the Start Here forum. Not easy to diagnose but often a outdated device driver.

We should start beta testing a change that should fix this tomorrow.
