Version: 2.10

What were you doing when the application crashed?
Bug Buddy is asking me to write what I was doing when Tasks suddenly stopped. I had just finished changing my Evolution preferences to load images in messages from my contacts. I switched to an old email with images from one of my contacts and looked at the images (which probably had been displayed before anyway) when Bug Buddy requested I write this. I did not know Tasks was running nor that it had stopped running.

Aside from that in the last month this F7 machine has been extremely slow at times. A few times since the last kermel it would not display the login window after my absence and I had to press the reset button to regain the machine. Other times the windows would slowly be redrawn. It has not done this for a week.

My FC2 machine has been even slower over the past month and the drive light has stayed lit for days on end. While that is happening the machine is almost unusable it is so slow, taking 3 to 6 minutes to boot and half a minute to draw the background. This machine also has recovered in the past week. 

The only unusual things I recall doing before this slowness started was listening to music from a local radio station choqfm.ca and upgrading Mozilla on the FC2 machine and trying to install Adobe and Flash to listen to that station. I haven't listened to that station since.

This slowness may notbe related to the current problem Task seems to have had as it stopped suddenly and unnoticably a month or more ago and when I reported it as requested I was told it was a problem that already had been reported.

I hope this is not wasting your time. If I should read something to better know what to do when Bug Buddy or whatever requests something, then please let me know about where or what reading to seek out.
