STOP READ THIS
everyone will have a different reason for this problem from simple graphics diplay
driver issues to system RAM issues......here is what caused mine (and by the way
i was getting the same error as everyone else here is reporting).
My system:-
AMD Athlon 2100+ (1.753ghz)
Asus A7N8X Motherboard
1 GB 533 DDR RAM
Nvidia Geforce 5600
Sound Blaster Audigy 5.1
etc etc etc.
My ram was tested my graphics card drivers updated, uninstalled reinstalled..basically
tried everything sugested on all forums i visited with no luck...the following worked
for me.....
It seemed i had issues with my system page filing causing the system to crash with
ANYTHING strenuous from game playing right through to disk clean ups or sometimes
virus scans....SOLUTION.....
PRINT THIS AND DO NOT RUN ANY PROGRAMMES AT ALL UNTIL COMPLETED FULLY!!!!!!
Start...Right Click 'My' Computer'...click the 'Advanced' tab.....Click 'Settings'
(Under 'performance')...Click 'Advanced' tab....Click 'Change' (Under 'virtual Memory')....Select
the option 'No paging File'...Click OK.....Restart computer and when windows logs
on from restart then run a disk defrag (start....all programmes...accessories....system
tools...disk defragmentor).....wait til complete and then this will rerstore page
filing correctly on the hard drive.....then follow the above instructions after defrag
to re enable page filing...restart and hey presto problem fixed...well for some of
you including myself.
i sincerely hope this works for you as it did for me as i spent days and days trying
everything until this finally worked for me.
GOOD LUCK :-]
