After downloading "Pause" it took me awhile before I actually used it. When I needed it to work, it consistently crashed, froze my screen and had to force quit. I had to do this so many times that I gave up and out it went. Too bad to because I thought that it had great potential to work for the job I needed it for. I was using it on my G4 powermac @10.3.9. As a result, I ended up having to zero out my hard drive and reinstall all my start up disks all over again. Can't recommend at this time, sorry.

Causes major crashes on my Mac - WannaBteacher
In response, I used the most recent version of the application. However, I never received any error messages, the screen just froze every time I brought "Pause" up to use it with every browser I use. It happened with every one of them. I don't know why this kept happening. However, in all honesty, I can't say 100% that "pause" caused me to have to zero out my hard disk. This application was just the one of a few that wouldn't work or cause my system to stall or crash when I used it. Your application wouldn't work from the moment that I first tried to use it. It caused Firefox to stall and eventually crash or I had to force quit it Pause because it wouldn't quit on it's own. Several times, it just crashed on it's own after stalling for a long time. I don't know what else could've been the problem other than I had some minor problems with my system prior to this.Monday, December 12 2005 @ 11:31 PM PST

Hmm, that really is very strange. However, there is absolutely no code within Pause that interacts with Firefox, so it seems to me that your problem is probably a system-related one I'm afraid. Possibly your hard disk or logic board is on the brink?Wednesday, December 14 2005 @ 02:31 PM PST

Hi, I'm the developer of this app, and I'm rather concerned about you report. I can see no reason why my app would cause you such problems since it is written entirely in Applescript and doesn't issue any "system" commands at all.Can I ask in what way it crashes for you? Does the app actually quit with the system bringing up a message informing you so, or does the application itself keep running, but presents you with its own error messages?
Also, you say that it took a while before you actually used the appm so which version did you actually try to use in the end?
