I was installing Smart Reporter while playing David's Backgammon and I got a message in 4 languages telling me I had to restart my computer and I could do so by either pressing the start button or the usual method. I could not move my cursor. The computer was completely frozen so I had to use the start button to shut it down. I'm not happy about that! Apps usually give you a warning that you'll have to restart your computer and then give you the option to restart now or later. My MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.6 and 2 MB RAM just froze. There was no indication as to why I had to restart. Any ideas as to why this happened?

It is a kernel panic, which could happen from a corrupted disk image.Thursday, February 26 2009 @ 03:29 PM PST

>"... 4 languages telling me I had to restart my computer"sorry but this can't be from SMARTReporter since it doesn't require an installation (just drag&drop it to your app folder) or a restart. if there are any reproducible problems however that are really caused by SMARTReporter, i'd be happy to investigate.
