I've used XP64 for a long time, and it is rock solid. Very few things don't work with XP64.
TF2 uses a ton of paged pool. It and Steam both use a lot of GDI objects. Tsk tsk tsk, Valve. Mirc and winamp and AVG don't use squat for resources. As much as resource pigs Steam and hl2.exe might be, they still don't use enough to cause problems. I can start TF2 with mirc, avg, and winamp running. And a slew of other things as well. Something else is wrong. I would suggest the OP open up task manager, add Paged Pool and non-paged pool to the sensor list, and see what is using resources. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 11:07 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] Client crash question > XP x64 is notoriously buggy.
