Rewrite a program from scratch ?

[skywalker]

I am having a recurring "day dream" with a communication program.
bartshel.exe connects with my ISP.

For some reason, it occasionally hangs up or it won't hang up at all without a
reboot.

Dr.Watson doesn't log anything.

I have also changed the default home page to nothing so it doesn't lolly gag on connect.

I looked at learning javascript, but at about 130 megs for program and tutorial,
not ready for that yet.

This is what I have done so far.

1. MS script fix
2. Restore point
3.

Is there a program that'll log what goes on during a connection ?

I guess I could load the program in Ollydbg and see what it's doing. It's 148K.

You could try wireshark (http://wireshark.org).

Thanks. Some more new stuff to learn.

This is one of those multi-layered things.

Javascript writing and checking registry settings which I have modified to speed up loading after
connection is made

I may have to learn about how dll's work and how to "make em work better"
