did you by any chance just install a sound card in Windows XP, cause if it is a sound blaster live ( the old one) then you will get that if you use creative's driver. I had this myself, use the updated XP driver from them or use the XP driver in the OS.

Just my two cents

hrrmm... yea......... dunno why but i get that msg somewhat on a weekly basis.
i've reinstalled twice (second time with a NTFS reformat) but it still comes up. i should have all the updates for windows and i know that all the drivers are correct BUT the damn thing still pops up once in a while (mostly when i play Half Life).

any ideas?

G'day lads, in that MS article one suggestion is to do a system check on the memory (I resume RAM).
How does one go about that?
:cheers:

Reason I ask is I have 2 sticks of 256 installed (both cheapies)

1 X Hyundi and 1 X Hynix

Have been unable to burn for a few weeks and keep getting booted with similar BSOD.

Last night took out the Hynix and was able to burn with no probs.
However, the system was very slow and games (understandably) performed poorly.

So back in went the Hynix and it runs like a ripper again:rolleyes2

So the RAM is being recognised ok, and works ok? Is it because they are diff brands:hammer:

Cheers :thumb:
