XP SP3 On-going crashes
in [Windows XP]

From: db on 3 Feb 2010 11:04 in my opinion there isn't a comprehensive method to review these issues. you have the error log but it doesn't indicate errors. you have the ability to test windows performance in safe mode. you have the ability to initiate a clean boot and disable third party services and programs. you have a method to uninstall faulty / poor performance programs. you have the ability to uninstall drivers. you have the ability to initiate a repair installation you have the ability to utilize the recovery console. therefore, my first suggestion is to test windows in safe mode. if it doesn't crash in safe mode then it means the system core files are intact and windows doesn't have to be reinstalled. if it does crash then you may skip all of the other steps and reinstall or repair windows. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com - nntp Postologist ~ "share the nirvana" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > "AIANDAS" <AIANDAS(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CD72FB02-8ADA-4680-9AC2-D747DCB25761(a)microsoft.com... > instead I would focus on > relieving the memory of > programs that call upon > the keys you mentioned. > > HOW do I go about doing this? > Again when I look at the Event Viewer it continues to show these services > to > be the culprit.

From: AIANDAS on 3 Feb 2010 18:32 Well I only have 2 red flags to speak of right now, ADFS and Akamai. I am tempted to simply write to Akamai and see what they tell me. I have to find out what this ADFS thing is and then take appropriate action. Thanks for your patience and all your help on this.

From: SC Tom on 3 Feb 2010 18:44 ADFS is Active Directory Federation System, and is found on server operating systems. I don't know why (or how) you would have it on an XP system. -- SC Tom "AIANDAS" <AIANDAS(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F98E6F99-B705-4623-A3BA-72DDCA863BDB(a)microsoft.com... > Well I only have 2 red flags to speak of right now, ADFS and Akamai.

From: db on 4 Feb 2010 11:22 yeah, it sounds like a good idea to figure that out. there are simply some programs that get installed and crash the system. I also agree with sc tom. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com - nntp Postologist ~ "share the nirvana" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > "AIANDAS" <AIANDAS(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F98E6F99-B705-4623-A3BA-72DDCA863BDB(a)microsoft.com... > Well I only have 2 red flags to speak of right now, ADFS and Akamai.
