Well, I dunno. But I seem to have the privelege of having the worst case on this
board. For one thing, I have a RAID 1 Array, which makes me pretty paranoid from
the getgo.
This Dell computer hasn't worked from the first day I bought it. And I don't think
any Microsoft guru will help either. Unless I want him to help me rebuild my hard
drive.
I've already done that three times for different reasons, but there are so many problems
remaining that I only use my brand new Gen 3, 3.6 Gig computer to burn movies.
I have two other computers, but they have XP2 Pro, and this one has XP Home, plus
the RAID 1. And Systemworks 2003. Now you need to know that Ghost doesn't work
with RAID 1. At all. And I don't think that Speedisk does either. But Acronis'
True Image doesn't care about the RAID array, so I have a backup for my C partition
to rely on. And it's a good thing, too. People who believe the big companies and
don't partition their hard drives correctly, (Dell sent me 160Gig in one partition
only.) will really suffer if they rely on System Restore. Whatever I have blows
out System Restore all the time.
I don't have any virus. I do have the most current update of Systemworks 2003 virus
definitions, AdAware, Spybot, and Mailwasher as an email filter. I had Symantic
scan my system remotely, and I'm clean. Well, my computer is anyway...
I've also tried the "msconfig" technique,which was a neat thing to learn, but no
cure for me.
I haven't been able to figure out why I can't ask the good Doctor Watson what's wrong,
but it doesn't seem to work correctly anyway. I have seen instructions on how to
disable it. But that doesn't seem to be a good idea.
The DLL Initialization error seems to run in some kind of cycle. And the whole thing
may be as long as 8 reboots long. The events seem random and widely varied. Many
of them don't have any reference on Microsoft's site. Most often, Event Viewer doesn't
register anything, except a security error relating to a disused network connection.
I don't use it much, and so the cable is disconnected, but I don't care.
By the way, Dell/India told me to avoid downloading XP Updates, and to call MS so
that I could buy CDs with the changes. Nice, eh? Curiously, I don't have any trouble
at all with my other two computers. One of which is a 400 MHZ Dell I bought six
years ago. I started with NT4 on that one, and added on XP Pro sp2 as a splice.
Oh well, maybe somebody...message in a bottle...
