re: Question about 'Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000' Wednesday, January 1, 2003 at 10:47 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Brad (1 messages posted) Good tips. I am having a similar problem with a 900 mghz Blaster PC from Tiger Direct. I have two 128 meg chips in it, so that might be my problem. But would XP be more sensitive to that than 98SE? I upgraded and don't remember any random hanging or freezing under 98. One more question: under 98, you could reinstall ontop of the existing install and repair missing or corrupted files without losing any of your data or program files. Can you do this with XP? And finally, is there any easy way to repair problems with the registry in XP?
