Ok, so this is a little bug I found running my local internet mode with two instances. At first it was up to 30 seconds delay between each time the seconds timer fired off, which is kinda suckish until you consider that my comp. is rather old, so I let that one go. But then the damn thing completely locked up on me when I returned to check on it in the morning.
So I have been trying to recreate this for the past hour with no results. Next time it happens, I am just going to shove the dam safe mode autosave file directly into vb6. Hope that finds it!
