Hello Asif, yes, 0.7.3 is a better choice for you. Download it from the http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/ and run the exe-Installer. Intstall it directly over the old path (c:\andLinux or c:\program files\andLinux). But, if I'm right, then andLinux has also 0.7.3-rc3 the release candidate. There the startup crash was fixed. After any new coLinux installation remeber to update the modules! Copy the modules file to some place, where you have an access with cofs mounted windows directory and run such command inside coLinux: tar xzf "Path/name/file...modules.tgz" -C / Paolo is fighting with kernel crash. Asif, you have an application crash. This can be a problem with loosing network. If you was running ones the 0.8.0, then you need to remove all the udev entries from file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules, after a coLinux reboot the netwotk should work again. Asif, also check your free memory. Is the swap file working? If some full, then incrase the "mem=..." or incrase the swap file.
