[gui-talk] Error Message Codes

[David Andrews]

I was having random freeze ups with a Dell, and I went in and 
reseated all the cards, making sure they were firmly in, cleaned PC, 
and checked memory, processor, etc., to make sure they were well seated.

This seems to have helped.

p.s.  If you could borrow and try a different sound card, this also 
might indicate something, as it sounds like this could possibly be 
your problem.
