Yowch! Well, first question: are you using 4.03? If you don't have the 4.03, trot over to E-on and pick up the patch. Programs crashing under Windows is about as common as storm clouds on a rainy day. But this: "the Windows wallpaper had changed and the clock was 50 minutes slow!" doesn't sound good at all. Glad you asked in the Tech forum because that's where I'd be wanting to send you. :) Make sure you have the Vue patch, and be sure to keep saving stuff regularly as you work with it (any program). If there is a problem with Windows, it'll make itself clear, I'm sure. So it might also be a good time to do a backup while you have the chance. Good luck!
