About the time WinMx crashed because the patch was yanked my computer died and I'm back online with abnother computer, a Compac Presario running XP Home with Windows Firewall. I was glad to get the new patch but it takes several moments for selections to actuate. If I select search it takes a while for the search screen to come up. The problem is the same as with my other computer. Sometimes using windows explorer with WinMx open caused it. I have to close Windows Explorer from Task Manager and then start it again as a new task.
