[MV] taking the plunge (2)

[Glen]

Chris,
  I've also experienced the freeze behavior you describe below . A 
file was left after these incidents in the USER folder called 
"lockuser". Deleting this helped.  Sorry I can't provide more details 
as I'm away from my machine at the moment.

(Powerbook, 10.2.3, VV + update )

>In fear and trembling, and despite the cautionary remarks of T. Patrick
>Henebry, I went out and bought a G4 powerbook 867 MHz with 1024 RAM, the
>best microphone on the market (thanks Martin) and ViaVoice (again- I had
>purchased a previous version). I considered going the PC route but was
>reluctant to "give up" for a number of reasons, some probably not entirely
>logical.
>
>I am running OS 10.2.3 and ViaV 10.2.2. I have had little or no problem
>running mostly older software on the classic platform before this.
>
>I was prepared for somewhat of a rocky road, and a gradual acceptance of a
>more buggy system than the PC offers, but I have had some disconcerting
>early problems. The main issue right now is that I can't get the Setup
>Assistant to analyze my documents. When I click on the add button, I am
>presented with an hierarchical display which I can follow through to the
>text documents that I want to add, but the documents are ghostly and I can't
>highlight them, can't add them. Even documents created by my new VV program
>are not reachable. My speakpad freezes up on me at times and won't respond
>to any commands (I know this is a reported problem), and I can't get the
>program to register the software with  IBM. It states that it "can't form an
>internet connection" despite the fact that Explorer is working fine, up and
running.

>I tried de-installing the software (and using the find file to get all the
>parts that were left behind by the de-installer, keeping my embryonic voice
>file as the only residual), re-installing the program, to find exactly the
>same problem. Have not tried tech support yet; as per above, they don't know
>I exist yet.

>Please tell me this is some silly little mistake on my part.

>Thank you all.
