I have started to get reproducable system crashes on my Windows 2000 PC. They happen when I scroll up or down the page in Mozilla 1.1 (but only on certain pages – Salon’s was one recently, and the release notes for Mozilla 1.2 beta was another), and when I paste new Diplomacy orders into Realpolitik.
The only thing these two programs have in common that I can think of is that they are both open source. When the machine crashes, I can at first move my mouse around but not interact with anything on the screen. If I press the mouse button or a key enough the system locks up altogether so I have to switch it off. Oddly, if I do switch it off, it switches itself on again at once…
Has anyone out there experienced anything like this? Do you have any idea why it might happen? Would it be sensible of me to upgrade my machine from Windows 2000 to XP in the hope that might solve it?
[Later] It turns out that the driver for my ATI Radeon graphics card was to blame. Unfortunately, when they do a bug fix they don’t explain why it was that the bug occurred in the first place. I wonder what it was about those programmes in particular that caused the bad interaction? I suppose I will never know…adult comics pornacid amino analysissex adult games on lineporn 1 sitealfombras artesanales olas espaporn amitures bestbradley input drift allen analogessex aerial installation Map
