Sorry about the unanswered questions. The answer to #1 is so-so. The user has AVG Free. Lately a lot of stuff has been getting by our paid-for version of AVG Network Edition. I'm looking to replace it when it comes up for renewal in January.
Yes, the user has admin rights. Too many apps require admin rights. Not to mention he's a senior admin and I can't really justify not letting him have admin rights. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 1:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: MSINFO popping up On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 11:34 AM, John Aldrich<[email protected]> wrote: > Windows XP Pro SP2.

I presume this was in response to my comment about STOP errors? STOP errors sometimes don't appear in Event Viewer. The Event Viewer message is generated when the system finds a crash dump in the page file at start-up. No crash dump, no Event Viewer message. The system won't create a crash dump if there's no page file on the system volume. It's also possible for something to screw up the system to the point where the STOP error handler won't dump. Maybe other reasons, too. Asked but not answered: >> Do you have good anti-virus?
