2904	1999-09-08 11:24:00	I seem to be getting an increased number of winows protection faults - blue screen of death - since installing a second hard drive in my system. The most recent say after the usual blurb: '....in 0028:C0285305 in VXD VWIN32 (05) +00002059..' and ' ....FFFF:FFFFFFFF..' and '...0028:C000B25A in VXD VMM(01) + 0000A25A..' I have also had crashes within the explorer window in user.exe and kernel32. The crashes generally always occur after playing a game. It seems to happen with most games (Age of Empires, X-Files etc) When the game is closed, the blue screen appears-alternatively the explorer window comes up showing the crash details. I installed the new Seagate HD by using the disc manager programme so I figure I have simply copied all the junk off the old drive onto the new drive which probably doesn't help things. However, I wasn't getting these protection errors before when I just had the old drive. I figure I am going to have to wipe the new disc and start again but am reluctant to do so until I have finished some overdue work that I have on the computer. Are there any areas which I could check in the interim which may be the solution to the problems? I have tried: -Device manager- this shows no problems -Latest drivers are installed -I have reinstalled windows(over the top) -Used the ext.exe tool on the start-up disc to refresh the system files System is a Pentium 133, 48MB RAM, Win98, 4.3GB H/D and 1.2GB H/D. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Darryl Lennane	Guest (0)
