Arkaic Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I am unsure what it is but as soon as i install ad muncher opera will freeze within minutes after starting. admuncher provided a message box saying it needs to switch modes. Following this it appears the problem begins. the whole system freezes and nothing else will launch. not even task manager. i cant even end the program. i have to manually restart (Hold in the button till it turns off). This problems is more prominent when i have more tabs open. i usally have 4+ tabs open in opera. I would really love to fix this b/c ad muncher is great. i have no ads with it installed but i just can't run my system with constant freezes like this. Right now im posting in netscape 7.1. which seems unaffected. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/180943-opera-751-ad-muncher-452/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted June 21, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 21, 2004 have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling both programs? That's the only thing I can suggest at the moment.

Arkaic Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 yes. i ended up having to image my disk cuz i couldn't fix it but then i wasnt sure what the probelm was. deleted the ad muncher program files, deleted registry entries and still the problem would persist. where else can it keep data about itself? p.s.: it mentioned last time (before imaging) it had to switch modes possibly b/c of the way the firewall filters. right now im using zone alarm security suite. do you thing that could be it?

+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted June 22, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 22, 2004 I don't know it cold be, I have never liked zonealarm it alwasy seemed to mess up my internet and not allow me to view pages. Well have you tried disabling zonealarm and trying it again? I have never had a problem with admuncher it is a quality program :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/180943-opera-751-ad-muncher-452/#findComment-2333192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not with Opera or Ad Muncher. Zone Alarm 5 is unstable. I'd recommend you install 4.5 or look into getting another firewall. That will fix your problem.
