Hi,
Windows repair via the emergency repair procedure (not the console, & no
repair media available). It can boot from a CD.
I can run in safe mode (first time in my life for my Win2K!).
Disk D: (Win2K) is OK - happily defragging while I eat dinner!
Turning off auto-reboot doesn't work - it re-boots even befor the BSOD gets
its chance! Maybe because I also reduced the dump file size?
Device manager says there are 2 sets of USB controllers, 1 under USB, the
other under Other, for which it can't find a driver.
If it's a driver clash, it's strange that the machine was stable for the 3
previous weeks!
MSKB says I should contact their support for a hot fix, but I've just seen
their tariffs!
More soon,
Richard.be

Turn off automatic reboots. (Control Panel / System / Advanced)
Then copy down all the details from the crash screen and post.
You might also explain what "Win2K repair procedure" you used.

Subject: unexpected kernel mode trap
Hi,
I started getting this message on a BSOD at power up. This is on my
3-week-old box (Asus + Sempron, with my old disks).
It says "dumping physical memory to disk" for a minute, then re-boots (ad
nauseam).
Note that it only occurs when booting Win2K. Win98 is OK!
The Win2K repair procedure didn't fix it.
Microsoft's KB says "hardware problems", but I don't believe that, as it's
all common to both OS's!
Any ideas?
TIA,
Richard.be
