Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately the patch fixes a real problem, I
think simply reverting it is not a good option and finding out why your
program does not like this change is preferred.

It was already noted that some programs are expecting the frequency to
be about what Windows gives them. Does your program still freeze with
the attached patch ?
