My computer crashed recently, and the tech guy i talked to seemed to
mention something about army builder possibly being responsible during
the repairs. It kinda makes me alittle less than happy about army
builder...
 
Speaking as a tech guy with 20+ years of experience, you need to get a
new tech guy. The odds of AB causing a crash that would take down a
computer are so miniscule it's not even worth mentioning. Did he
happen to suggest how it could have possibly done so?

Odds are far more likely that you had some sort of email
virus/spyware/adware overload.

Highly doubt it unless your running some application
that has a conflict with the files.

Is the machine fine now, if so, give it time, see if
it happens again.

Speaking as both a long-time user of Army Builder (I bought version 1.0 in
the first week of release) AND a developer who runs AB almost every day
while I work on it, I've very rarely had a problem with AB crashing - and
it's NEVER done so in a damaging way, such as causing data loss. Never, in
6-7 (I think) years of use. Neither have I heard of anyone I know having
such a problem.


As other posters have said, this sounds like the "tech guy" picking a
random culprit that he doesn't know anything about to pin the blame on.
Unless he has any actual evidence to back up his claims, I'd take them with
a very large pinch of salt.


Hope this helps,

I'm a 10+ year tech....from Desktop jockey to Systems Engineer for
Enterprise systems.

The day Army Builder is capable of crashing a system is the day I'll EAT my
system.

This is not cockiness, this is simple fact.

Did I mention I spent 5+ years as an app developer, mostly Database dev,
which tends to be the harshest on the hardware and OS?

I'd look to Microsoft, to your A/V corrupting, to spyware/malicious code,
and lastly to defective hardware.

85% of the time, in my experience, it's Windows...even XP Pro...and 98% of
the time, a simple wipe/reinstall of the OS takes care of these issues.

Free advice....back up your data (CD-R would be best), go to
www.killdisk.com and download KillDisk. Wipe your machine, then
reinstall. I'll bet a copy of AB 3.0 that this either (A) solves your
problems, or (B) targets a hardware issue.

I state all the above not because I'm a fan of AB, simply tired of
uninformed people being led astray by halfwit techs.
