XP Problems

celliott · 21 Oct 2006 at 22:29

A few days ago my family PC seemed to crash whenever Shift was pressed, or whenever the hard disk was viewed, or internet explorer opened.

I reformatted it, updated and since then everything has been fine.

I am now getting the same error on my PC, it seems this error can happen on any application and I have no idea of the cause.

I have seen this error not only on cli.exe but also on explorer.exe and iexplore.exe.

Any ideas??

Have run Memtest on both machines already and no problems found. After a quick look on search it seems there are a few threads with this same error.

Gah I hate Windows. Wouldnt be using it if all PC games ran easily on linux.

Wrong, I am a gamer. Very few games will run on Linux well without emulation software or paid solutions like Cedega.

Yes .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 is installed, as well as all latest updates.

HDD/Memory has passed all tests.
