Since it is about a month I have no trouble with PGS's 5.0.5.8
capability of reading, writing, copying, pasting. Which only happened
now and then.

I had those problems for about almost two years, since PGS 5.0.5.8 came
out: October 2010. The strange thing is/was, that PGS 5.0.5.7 was still
working, when PGS 5.0.5.8 didn't.
I wrote bug reports (317 and 319) about these bugs. I wrote about them
here on the forum, so if anybody seeing the same things as I did, it is
helpful for Deron (and me). Since nobody responded, it looked like if it
was my bug only.
And that seems to be the case!

So what has changed?
It's still the same computer, the same main-board, the same second
hard-disk.
The on-board graphics card was broken, so I got me a new graphic board.
And I went from 2 to 4 GB RAM.
At about the same time my first hard-disk failed too. So, I have a SSD
(Solid-state drive) as first disk (C:\\) now.

PGS is still at the same place on the second hard-disk, so the same
configuration.
The repair shop put a new Windows Pro on it (so not the HP version).

So the bug was initialized by HP Windows 7? Probably. But what?
Or the small amount of RAM (first 2 MB)? Don't think so.
The old disk wasn't fast enough (SSD is fast!)? No, could be.
Was PGS the problem? No, not really, since it is exactly the same PGS.
Only strange was that 5.0.5.7 worked, when 5.0.5.8 not. So everything
pointed to 5.0.5.8.

Oh, I remember another thing:
On the old configuration the computer went to sleep after not using it.
On the new configuration the computer never get to sleep.

I close the bug reports 317 and 319.
