| 119262 | 2003-02-08 02:40:00 | Hi all Computer will freeze on a frame or the system will go to a blue screen and do a "memory dump" what ever that is, then will restart. This happens using both Win Media Player 8 and DivX after about 5 minutes of video play. "Alt Ctrl Del" will do nothing. CPU temp seems to be OK, around 45 during play. Anyone got any ideas? GF2 Ti AMD 1800+ 256 SDRAM 40g Win XP Pro (no sp1) |

If it does'nt lock the system, I get hit with a blue screen wit loads of white text and at the bottom of the screen it says "Dumping physical memory to disc" and has a counter, counting up to a hundred for this process. This "dumping of physical memory" will take about 3 mins then will restart the computer. If you need to know more, I will pay more attention next time. > also have you installed a codec pack? codec pack??? Unsure or not that I know of! |

| 119266 | 2003-02-08 03:24:00 | codec pack is simply a collection of codecs. sometimes you will get codecs that clash causeing all sorts of fun ;-) what video card do you have and what drivers are installed? |

| 119267 | 2003-02-08 03:54:00 | Avi files (divx) can be trouble in xp. there is a fix to let xp behave much better so it's possible to move or delete large avi files. The obnoxious bug in XP that causes Explorer to read the entire contents of broken AVI files before allowing any access to them is caused by bad behavior of shmedia.dll. To correct this misbehavior in Windows XP, remove the following registry key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D9 4-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32 This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in response to file property queries on these files. |

| 119270 | 2003-02-08 04:45:00 | > Nvidia Ge-Force2 Ti 64meg i don't remember a Ti series for geforce2 ?:| i would update the driver any way. Detonators should be ok. tho they may not play nicely with the winfast app if you have that installed. |
