Anytime I open a chat window with Yahoo Messenger, 8.1 I get the Blue screen and my Windows XP Home Edition crashes?
Anyone know what’s going on?

thanks

So I have a new NAS Drive, however i cannot transfer to via wireless as it causes my XP machine to crash:

Setup:
New NetGear Range Max Router
1 XP machine wireless
1 XP machine cable to the router
1 wireless printer
1 NAS drive cable to the router

What I have tried:
- Copying from the cabled XP drive to NAS drive is fine
- Can map drives on wireless XP
- Can access mapped drives on wireless XP

- If I copy either from wireless machine xp gui or command prompt after 2 or 3 files either crahses / not responding message

I am running Mcafee Anti Virus – I have turned the firewall off – did not improve anything! Not running Windows Firewall

Turned Web Client Services Off – did not improve anything!

My Wireless is currently connected at 108Mbs -> Good

I can ping the NAS drive (both IP & name) and can access all the shared folders on it

I am using dchp not static IP address – i don’t think thats the issue

I can see there is a wireless issue… any help would be greatly appreciated as i’ve been struggling for hours!
Thanks for your quick response.. i have checked event log nothing seems unusual (going back the past couple of days) in there a few DCOM errors and a couple of DCHP errors, when an IP was assigned.. (but have not had any internet problems the last few days)… i have the latest version of the drivers… and couldn’t get the dump to produce any results?!?

Could it be that I am using netgear program to connect to wireless rather than XP?
Switched over to XP wirless – no difference…

Basically it manages to copy 2-3mb then it just gets stuck… this is not my network connection dying as i can still access the net wirelessley
Ok.. definately a local computer related issue, just tried copying files from wireless PC to cabled PC and it crashed out after 7.97 Mb. the wireless icon just stopped flashing…
Copy from XP cabled machine to wireless XP machine works fine
removed wireless security… still no luck.. this time it managed to transfer 1.23 Mb before getting stuck….

Everytime I click on a .wmv or .mpg file on windows (even just single clicking) my computer locks up and I get a “windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close” message. I’ve tried switching the default movie program, but that doesnt help. Any suggestions?

The game crashes right after running it. It’s there any patch or something. The game runs ok on Windows 98 but on XP crashes. I`m not interested in news about other NBA Live titles. I like this game.

Upon going into Start-run-command, as soon as the command prompt screen loads up, the computer shuts down and restarts straight away.

Is it a bad drive, or a virus?

I just did a new install on windows xp home, and it crashes or locks up during auto updates.

For some reason my system crashes when I go to clean the registry. I’ve used many different reg cleaners and all seem to have the same problem happening. The program will scan the registry, a whole mess of errors with start showing up, then it seems like it gets to a certain part of the registry and then the computer just shuts down and restarts itself.

This certainly can’t be normal or good. Any suggestions on what I could do to fix this problem is much appreciated…

Hi! Well basically my Windows XP home crashes while it’s loading the desktop. Right after the login screen, and everytime I try. Totally crashes, it stops loading the desktop, the mouse freezes, keyboard doesn’t work. I have to reset the computer, leading me to the same thing.

I can actually run it on safe mode (doing it now), but can’t run it normally, with any user.

There is nothing wrong with the device manager aswell.

I know this is a nearly (or absolutely) impossible problem to diagnose, but maybe you could tell me the possibilities, what can it be?
I’m not doing any overclocking, the temperatures are fine. (using a watercooler)
Also, haven’t changed any system configuration, nor added or removed any hardware.

I reisntaled xp and it resbooted n all. then at start up it just crashes. i pulled out hard drive n checked for errors, all good. i stumped.
pulled out wires n ram n all too. this machine was running fine n then bang, dead

Recently, my motherboard crashed without any replacement available. I would like to know if my Windows CD OEM is now useless. Based on what I understand, a hardware profile is created and registered with Microsoft.Correct me if I’m wrong, but i think it’s the hard drive, motherboard, and video card. If my motherboard fails, can i buy the same mobo without having to buy another copy of Windows? Do I need to contact microsoft directly?
