12/21 I talked to RG Software: According to them the numbers are debugging codes that only beta versions of 10.0 should display. The numbers only showed up when vi-spy was being run by the AUTOVS program, so this could have been the problem somehow. Their recommendation: erase the current version of vi-spy and reinstall from an original disk know to be a release version. - --dan [Moderator's note: Thanks for the follow-up, Dan. This is exactly the sort of thing that I had in mind with regards to posting product support questions and summaries here. I hope that others follow this example.] Original post: > VI-SPY 10.0 > RG Software Systems, Inc. > > Has anyone encountered this problem with VI-SPY 10.0? > > I have vi-spy running from the autoexec.bat on a Northgate > 386 that has a Stacker "stacked" drive. > > On boot up, vi-spy starts to check for viruses, then it spits > out four numbers, <<3031>>,<<3120>>,<<E8F4>>,<<4549>>, > then the system freezes (need to hit the reset button).
