Hi Deb - Sorry, I had to get on a flight yesterday after I posted and am just now getting back to email. In my experience, sometimes you get a screen with an error for the application with a problem. Other times you don't get anything. The point is that Windows doesn't do the rebooting for you. Yes, this can be helpful to just have Windows "fix" the problem with a reboot. However, as I mentioned before, it doesn't do me much good when I'm in the middle of a project and I have no warning at all about a reboot. If they really wanted it to be helpful they could pop-up and tell you that Windows needs to reboot so you should save everything and hit OK (or something to that degree). Until they do that, I will continue to uncheck this option.
It sounds like you might have found the problem with ZA, so best of luck and you can keep this in mind in the future! :) Todd -----Original Message----- From: PBC Web Design [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2005 1:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [wdvltalk] OT: HELP! computer rebooting on it's own/Windows XP error deciphering? Hi Todd, Ok, that makes sense. But what should I expect by un-checking it? Don't mean to be so dense, but I've not heard of this before. Will it pop up some kind of error window for me to view and give me the option to reboot or ???
