Rick: How are you doing? That is exactly what my desktop was doing with 7.10. It would leave the computer in a suspended state. When I went to turn it on the next day, I had to turn it off first. I am sure that is what my laptop is doing. There is no indication of it though.
I will just move to 8.10 and be done with it. If it weren't for VFP and Quickbooks, I would be using Ubuntu 100% of the time. My 2009 desktop is dual boot Vista and Ubuntu 8.10. I have a major customer rolling out Vista this quarter. Thanks everyone for your ideas.
