Do you two have anything in common? Like OS, Special FARR settings, maybe HW? This info would help me to track the bug-
-czb
Running FARR on WinXP Home SP3 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. No particularly fancy hardware or FARR settings that I know of.
If it's helpful, I've included the contents of my FindAndRunRobot.ini file (except search folders, launch history, and past search strings).

Let me know if there is anything else you need.
(Side note: are you missing a closing < / b > tag in your Timer plugin settings, or was it intentional? Before I disabled BBCode in the spoiler, I noticed the bold font from the user variables settings in the ini file was running into my post here.)
Thanks!
