The OS is win95B. Any remedy please?? ,edm@clear.net.nz It has started to happen often when watching Tv using my tv tuner card . I have 32Mb ram	Ecca (1744)
76123	2002-09-04 03:37:00	Hmmm .... tapiexe is what windows uses to interact with phones and stuff (notice the very technical explanation :) ). I'm rather surprised that an error would be initiated through watching tv on your pc, unless something is trying to get your modem to dial out and the tv card is sharing the modem's resources. You can verify this by going to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager tab. I'm hoping that your modem or tv tuner card (probably listed in the "Sound, video, gaming" tree) has a yellow exclamation by it. If so, (or even if not), double click the tv tuner card, then go to the Resources tab. Check to see if any conflicting devices are listed at the bottom of this tab. It may pay to change the settings used by the tv tuner. Remove the tick beside "Use automatic settings", then use the drop-down box to change the configuration (0000, 0001, etc). Choose one which has no conflicts (it will say so at the bottom of the tab). Click OK all the way back out. If you are still getting errors, post back with the full error and the tv tuner card model and your modem model. :)	antmannz (28)

Buy more RAM 32Nb is not enough. Buy more RAM More RAM is good. Buy more RAM You can't do anything better for the average PC than: Buy more RAM Please. You won't regret it. Ask ANYONE who deals with PC problems. Say "I have 32Mb RAM" Look at their eyes. See the pity. Buy more RAM OK? Buy more RAM I mean it. Don't listen to me just because I've said something. I've just made a suggestion. Find someone whose opinion you respect. Say to him/her, "I have 32 MB RAM." Watch their eyes. See the pity. Buy more RAM. MORE RAM! DO IT! Buy more RAM. Did I mention that more RAM would be a good thing? Buy more RAM. OK, another suggestion. Go search the web for opinions on why more RAM is a good thing. Buy more RAM. Your move.
