Recoverd from a serious error

JrDave2324 · 08-07-2004, 07:12 PM

In the last 10 minutes if gotten a message saying that the system has recovered from a serious error. I have no idea why, I wasnt even at the computer when the message occurred. I said a device driver installed on my system caused the error. I looked at the error report contents and these two files are in the report:

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini08704-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\DAVIDB~1\Temp\WER2.tmp.dir00/sysdata.xml

any ideas as to what is happeneing??

The minidump-ed file contains information about the crash for debugging purposes.
Most probably it’s a driver issue... If you know what driver caused the crash, try reinstalling it.

Assuming you're running XP if this is the first time you've seen this don't worry it won't be the last. I noticed with mine when the Service Packs were added the frequency became less. Also XP has issues with cable modems if USB rather than Ethernet cable is used and will cause random crashes like this...

hmmm, and another thing that keeps happening is when i update through Windows Automatic Updates i keep getting a message about

"Files that are required for windows do run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions"

"The netowrk location from which the files should be copied, C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386/controls.man, is not available..."

what is this now?

This is because you probably haven't been logged in as administrator during the update.

but i am the only user on the computer, so therefore i am the administrator

What updates?

JrDave2324 · 08-08-2004, 02:27 AM

oh i dunno, whatever the automatic updater installed....when i said "Files that are required for windows do run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions" i meant "Files that are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions"

and yet two more problems...
1. i have the monitor turning off power after like 5 minutes. l every so often it wont turn back on after i move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard.
2. the system found new hardware, a floppy drive, and installed the drivers....but i have no floppy drive!!!!

what the heck is happening here???!!?!?

ok so forget all those problems i stated before, i reformatted the hard drive and most went away. now im left with one problem....windows xp randomly freezes. sometimes ill be movin a file, using windows update, or whatever itll just freeze. keyboard doesnt do anything, mouse doesnt either. this happened before the reformat also, not it just doesnt happen quite as frequently. why is this happening?? any clues?
