Try reinstall, and make sure you have all the updates. What happens when it crashes?]

hmm...is it possible for you to copy the exact message it gives next time it crashes? that could help alot

I could try that but when it crashes i dont see anything. All i hear is my desktop theme which is wave.... when the i assume the error box comes up. I could try alt+tab to see but i doubt it.

Hey Sonic,

Sometimes when memory is low, im speaking of RAM which is Random Access Memory, illegal errors will appear.

The way a computer works is that it copies images that are displayed into your RAM then onto your screen.

If you have insuffiecent RAM, it will affect your PC mostly when you play HI DETAILED games.

to check you ram
click start button
click accessories
click system tools
click System Info
Look under Total Physical Memory = RAM
Available Physical Memory = What memory you have to work with

if its under 30 you computer will stall
and crash. Mostly if you have sp2 for XP

Also, you may want to check you Hard Drive for ERRORS.
It might also be a NON-MACRO virus which affects your registry files, very nasty.

When you start your computer. Repeatdly push f8 and go into safe mode
this will LOAD all BASIC Drivers into memory and then log in and restart.

If any drivers were missing, it will reload it.

Well im working with 256mb of ram so that cant be the problem, i have norton 2005 and its all updated so i cant have a virus. soo......

[Nux Vomica]

Actually, Sonic... if you're running XP SP2 -regardless of what Microsoft says- 256meg is the MINIMUM that XP will run with (run ok, that is).  RAM is cheap enough that you should try and get at least 512meg into the machine.  None of mine have less than a gig of RAM, and all work exceedingly well at running both XP Home & XP Pro.

If you get a chance, pop a stick of 512meg into your machine.

[XsonicX]

uhh i dont have XP i have 98se..

[«Fog»]

a much easier way to find out your computers stats is to use direct x diagnostic tool...
1) click start, go to run
2) type in dxdiag then press enter
3) click yes to the popup box and then another window will appear with your system infromation

also ram has nothing to do with illegal errors...unless his graphics card is integrated which meens that his graphics card doesnt have any ram of its own and tries to use the normal system ram instead...but integrated graphics are usually only in laptops since to be integrated it must be soddered directly onto the motherboard. so it might be that your graphics card is the problem, because when i run halo on my laptop... it only takes up around half of my memory (i have an Intel integrated graphics card) and it still runs halo fine and i can run a bunch of other programs in the backround at the same time.
