It was a coincidence. I got a freeze today whilst 'only' running Word, Excel, Mulberry (email) and Windows Media Player.

So my apologies to the GWX guys for even thinking it was down to their excellent work!

As for the problem, I suspect Media Player but don't know for sure. I'm thinking if it was something like a heat problem I'd be kicked to a reboot rather than a screen lock? The lock is complete by the way, no getting out of it with Ctl-Alt-Del, needs a restart.

Thank you.

I can see now that my crashing problems ALWAYS result from loading a saved game in patrol, if I start a patrol from in base I have no crashing at all. From what I've read on the forums here, this is a stock SH3 problem that has never been fixed. It has gotten so bad that I dont bother playing unless I can complete an entire patrol without having to save, because crashing over and over trying to continue a patrol is just too frustrating. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know, but from what I've read all you can really do is save while surfaced with no other ships around, sometimes that works for me, sometimes it doesnt.

Are you running an old (ie pre 1.5) version of SH3 Weather?
