Sound files, Crashing, and Windows 7 (not as catchy as sun, sea and sangria) Update??

[David McFarlane]

Lidia,

Yes, I have seen the same message running RefreshClockTest with EP2 
under Vista.  Have not tried yet under Win7.  I just ignore it and 
proceed.  The message means to tell you that the measured results 
might not reflect what is possible under ideal conditions with that 
machine, so if you still get good results under the test conditions 
then all should work well under your desired operating conditions.  I 
suspect however that Microsoft changed how programs can detect 
Standby/Hibernate functions and RefreshClockTest has not kept up with 
the change, in which case the measured results probably do reflect 
your desired operating conditions.

I will also be interested to know what PST says about this when they 
reply to you.
