Q. An application has stopped responding but StayAlive 2000 reports it as responding. An application may stop responding for a number of reasons, not all of which will be detected by StayAlive 2000. The application may not have stopped responding completely, but may be performing a lengthy calculation or accessing a network resource over a slow network. You can still interrupt the application, even when it is reported as 'responding'. The simple answer is 'no'.
Some software errors leave the application so unstable that recovery is impossible.
In other cases errors may be caused by hardware faults. We have tested StayAlive 2000 in many different crash scenarios and this indicates that StayAlive 2000 will work in the vast majority of cases. A. No, StayAlive 2000 does not work with old 16-bit applications. The OK button will be enabled when a valid user name and license key combination are entered. The name must be exactly as it was entered when you obtained your StayAlive license.
