Please define "Freeze" and "freak lockups" for me. I don't know what you mean when you say this happens.

Does the display keep updating?

If so, then please install Hijack v221 immediately and try again. That version has a little bit of player debug logic to popup a message under certain lockup conditions, and we need to know if you see the message. -- See the new thread in GENERAL for more info if needed.

Thanks.
