| 76906 | 2002-09-06 06:51:00 | That could be it. Big files "test" software, sometimes destructively.:D I've done that a few times on mainframes.]:) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 76907 | 2002-09-10 03:00:00 | Dude.....good man.....now that I think back the problem started just after work sent me on a Norton Corporate edition course....I took a copy home and installed it to have a play........bugger me :-) Tested it copying a 450 file and it blue screened....disable NAV and tried again and all was well.....no more available RAM dropping to zero Got a blue screen a couple of minutes later but that was an irq_not_equal blah blah blah........have had that one pop up before though....no real biggy :-) Cheers |

| 76908 | 2002-09-10 04:23:00 | In other words, bad programming. There's a lot of that about. :D Either Nortons are "making it go faster" by ignoring the result code from requests to the memory manager, or the memory manager programmers at MS are incompetent. Or both. ;-) |

| 76909 | 2002-09-12 05:42:00 | Thanks again for you help guys........not bad seeing as it is the first time I have posted on here :-) | mongrel (1788) | ||
| 76910 | 2002-09-12 07:29:00 | No problem, we do it because we enjoy it. Why not chuck a complaint to Nortons (Symantec). Or is it not a registered copy ;-) If so, complain from work ... you *might* score a free copy if you tell them about a fundamental cockup like this. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 76911 | 2002-09-12 09:37:00 | I don't know if this is a related problem or not. I was having frequent blue screens for no apparent reason. Running XP with only 128ram, had it lifted to 256ram & have not had one since, m/c runs faster as well. will probably go for 512ram & settle for that. Poppa John Am I tempting fate saying no more "blues" ? P J |

| 76912 | 2002-09-12 22:45:00 | I am running 384mb....my 512 got fried :-( Well I am happy to say that I have not had another blue screen since removing NAV..... Fingers crossed it stays that way...... |

Anybody have any ideas????? > > Have tried different cd drives before anybody > suggests that..... Try turning off DMA for the drive. Other things to try: new drivers from your motherboard manufacturer for your chip set and if it isn't already, making sure that the drive is the master and perhaps also the only one on the IDE channel. -- Juha |
