Craps out often. And when it does, and if the movie I was playing happened to have 5.1 sound, I have to reboot because there is no more system sound.

GOLF LEAFS GOLF!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20450634 Thu, 08 May 2008 10:07:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20449883 decx : About VLC, I have to agree, it has to be one of, if not the most unstable program I've used. I haven't used an app this bad since Netscape Communicator 4.

That said Google Earth is quickly getting to that same level of unstableness. I've had quite a bit of problems from it ranging from display corruption to just plain locking up the machine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20449883 Thu, 08 May 2008 03:31:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20449347 Thinkdiff : VLC is still an unstable mess for me. Works great for awhile, then it just craps out all of a sudden for no reason. That's more VLC's fault than anything else though.

Safari also randomly crashes when I open too many pages.

Otherwise, everything else has been stable.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20449347 Wed, 07 May 2008 23:56:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20449331 ArchAngel21x : When I was still running Tiger, I noticed that apps like VLC and browsers would crash somewhat frequently. I also noticed a bug that would not let opera minimize after visiting a page that used certain java code no matter what version of Opera I used. Since upgrading to Leopard I have not had these problems with the exception of Yahoo IM occasionally thinking it crashed when I just closed it. I haven't had even 1 kernel panic since upgrading to Leopard. Anyone else notice an improvement in stability with the OS and applications since upgrading?
