Thanks PH I was talking with GD last night and I wrote a nice simple version that will allow you to stop if you are at the keys instead of being forced to wait to the bitter end. I am supplying both ts & cts so edit how you see fit.

That was my first thought, page used to work, a new version of Page.cts must be at fault. I don't have the MOMbot Page.ts either, so I figured "How hard could it be?" I know, famous last words.

I started with a one line script:
Code:
sound "tos_klaxon.wav"

That locked up after playing the sound. No other scripts running. I have not upgraded or changed TWX since before it stopped working. So, either a Windows XP update has broken things, or TWX has become corrupted in some way.

The way that TWX locked up was odd too. It would not respond in any way to input, but CPU cycles didn't spike. Usually when TWX crashes it starts taking up 100% of the core's CPU cycles. It just sat there, like it was waiting for an event that it had missed.

Also, T.R. Edwards brought to my attention that the old TWXSetup.dat must also be removed. I moved that file into the backup directory that I had stored the old TWX version along with the old data files, and the new version fired up without error. So, I want to publicly thank T.R. for helping me through installation, that way he can be both the problem and the solution :)
Just ask any time you need a left handed compliment...

*UPDATE*
2.05 does not lock up when I run the sound test script :)

LOL. I did say that in my first post on this thread.
