I haven't used Pandorabot but is sounds like a resource problem within your computer or network. Have you turned off your antivirus software? Have you reserved an address in your router for your laptop and your EZB connections? Is your laptop old and underpowered? Make sure all your drivers on your laptop and in Windows are up to date.

Good Luck.

Having the same issue. I've working extensively with speech recognician and pandorabot for the past 2 weeks and thought it might be my system. Kinda glad to see it wasn't . Anyone else having issues?

I have a fast 100 m/bs Internet connection and using my MacBook Pro quad core i7, 8megs ram system.

Dave does bring up a very good point with antivirus. I've had nothing but trouble with Avast! Antivirus update and everything EZB. But in client mode I dont want to shut down antivirus.

@Dave Schulpius.

Thanks for your reply Dave. The laptop I'm using is no slouch. It is coming up to 2 years old, has an i5 processor, 6 gig ram, 320 gig HDD running Windows 7 64 bit, drivers are up to date, and do not have many applications installed on it. And like @fxrtst, I also have a solid 100 m/bs connection speed. Every other control I have set up or tried in ARC work really well and never causes the freezing issue. It's just with the Pandorabot control.

Other times I have used it (up until this week) it has been fine for the most part, although there has been times it has frozen, so I don't think my antivirus (AVG) is an issue either, and I don't see how a network connection would cause a program, or part of a program to become temporarily unresponsive.

@fxrtst.

Yeah I read one of your posts about your Avast issues a little while ago. That's a real drag. I use AVG, so far without any issues (touch wood ).

I wonder if it has something to do with using speech recognition and pandorabot together. I've actually noticed when it freezes the little green squiggly line representing the incoming sound stops on both speech recognition and the pandorabot windows.

Edit: I re read the post you are having issues with just typing it in. Hmmm.

Using speech recognition and pandora will, at best, confuse ARC. It's like being told what to do by two people at the same time. Use one or the other. You can use script commands in Pandora, check the Pandora example.

How the heck did I miss that Pandorabot already had speech recognition built into the window.....that was my biggest "doh" moment this week...and I've had several. Just killed the speech window and Pandora works great!

About a week away from being done with the project I sent you a few months back. Will post here first in a few weeks.

Thanks Rich,

Will

Actually something I have noticed when ARC freezes after a text input to the Pandorabot control, is that where I said that the cursor becomes unresponsive, that is not entirely accurate. I found out it does infact move, but under the ARC desktop so nothing on ARC can be selected until it unfreezes and the cursor appears back on top of the desktop.

I noticed this when I opened my task manager and found that the cursor was visible and active on my system task bar and on the task manager. Move the cursor over to ARC and it would now appear on top of the desktop, but still unable to select any of the tabs or controls.

This is becoming a real pain now as anyone trying have a conversation with my bot gets frustrated with waiting for almost a minute for a response, and is almost pointless using. Any help or suggestions with this? stress

Yes exactly what I noticed today. I get the same results with the rest of the EZB, unresponsive. I'm have the same issue but instead of typing I'm using the speech recognition. Seems it doesn't matter in the way data is input, the results are the same with the freezing. Almost unusable.
