Okay, I'm not sure if this is what it does every time (though I assume it does), this is the first time I was actually staring at it when it lost synchronization. It was moving along just fine, then suddenly the Empeg jumped to the "Building music databases..." screen, sat there for a while, then went through messages like "Loading visuals" and then to the "End of playlist" screen. At that point Emplode was not repainting its window as any well behaved Windows program should.

Exactly.

Except that I have a Mark II. I am running consumer 1.0. I have a single hard drive. And I definitely see an inverse correlation between how many megabytes emplode will send to the empeg and how many minutes my computer (the PC, not the empeg) has been running,

I am starting to believe that there may be a hardware conflict between emplode and certain flavors of PC.

For what its worth, I am running:

500 MHz AMD K6-2
Asus P5A Super7 Motherboard with 2 USB ports
128 MB RAM
15 GB Hard Drive
Matrox AGP video card w/64 MB
Sound Blaster Live sound card
Microsoft optical mouse, USB & PS2 capable, connected to PS2 port

Any commonalities with anybody else?
