Well, sometimes you get a blue screen message listing the registers and sometimes things like IRQ_NOT_EQUAL (or some such) and maybe some module (like emk101). However, many times it locks up without error messages or you ones like "error at someaddress in app xxyz", none of which help much! It doesn't seem that you can troubleshoot windows as you can with Linux/Unix/VMS. In addition most of the sysadmins for Windows have the reboot mentality and really don't dig into the problem.

Probably because Linux/Unix/VMS people don't accept that
an OS will crash regularly so they go looking for the
cause. Windows people have been conditioned to reboot,
reboot, reboot, then reinstall and accept that as normal.
Besides with Windows you can't tell if it's the hardware
or Windows <G>.



last time i will reply, honest,


I thought you could tell it was Windows causing the problem because of the boot screen?
