EH?i havent got A clue what your on about mate. :confused:
he's asking if you just installed service pack 2, because some programs cause windows to restart after the installation of service pack 2. you can try uninstalling service pack 2 then uninstalling the camera and other things that are causing the computer to restart, reinstall sp2 and then reinstall the programs

might just be a memory buffer overflow

uninstalled sp2,reinstalled epson/camera software,checked my memory all fine,but still keeps restarting....Running out of ideas.Help. :confused:
 
well you could go all the way..........and reinstall XP. i didn't think so :)

pc restarting

My nav2005 is upto date,also winxp,what do you mean settings for handling drives.....Can you explain please.thanx :confused:
 
kingsam, was there a driver listed in that stop message? If so that will usally give you a hint of what is causing the trouble. Here is MS help page on that stop error with some troubleshooting tips.
 
it was a umax snaaer driver not, a camera which caused the restarts

no what are you talking about memory dump isn't a virus, it's a kind of overflow. Here is a definition of dump from webopedia. But you don't have to reinstall XP that would take around 30minutes or so a waste of time

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
