As for the freezing in MilCirc, we experienced this as well. As soon
as we turned off the screensaver, our problems were gone.

freezes?
I checked
the archives but only saw freezing in regard to
Cataloging...
In any
case, our Millennium Circulation sometimes freezes up during a transaction.
For example, yesterday there was an instance where a staff member renewed a
patron's item, and cleared fines off their card, but the screen stopped
responding to mouse clicks. I closed out of the program and re-started it,
checked the last patron's record and saw that the fines indeed got cleared and
the item renewed, so perhaps the screen just couldn't update. Would this be a
Java problem? Or perhaps not enough RAM in the computer (or at least, not
enough free)? Sometimes we also notice that if you scan a barcode, and
the barcode will scan, but then the "return character" doesn't quite kick in
and the barcode just sits there without pulling up a record or showing an
error; usually this is easy enough to fix by back-spacing over the numbers and
re-scanning the barcode, though this is cumbersome. Does this sound like a
Millennium problem, or maybe our scanners aren't reading at a fast enough
rate?
Any help
would be appreciated.
