Ive installed a web cam on my pc and now it just crashes even when nobody's viewing it. My pc statics are: Winxp :Intel Pent 4 :3.2GHZ : Hard drive 120Gb :256 Ram :Driver version 4 cam :4.1.0.406..Min requirements to run cam which read from box are: Pentium 200 MHz ;32MB of system memory ;100 MB free disc space..Ive tried defragmenting and have 96.94GB of free disc space. When my pc reboots itself, i get a message saying "your system has just recovered from a serious error, report it to microsoft, which i do, but they have no solution. They also tell me it could be an interaction with windows and the Spyware doctor programme i have running to protect my pc. Today they sent a reply saying i should consider a BIOS upgrade.. i have no idea what this means. My pc is brand new and still under gaurantee. Ive been told i need more Ram to run a web cam and then again i've been told i don't. Please help if you can, i'm almost ready to get the hammer out and smash this camera to pieces.

Don't format your disk.
Don't hammer the webcam. Do edit your question to say what the webcam is...
Your system simply rebooted after a 'fatal error'. There are 2 settings that can be changed:
1) Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery settings button, under 'System Failure', uncheck "Automatically Restart". Leave the other choices checked. You'll still get the alert, and a log file will be created.
2) In Advanced>Error Reporting, check the box marked "But notify me of critical errors".
Now instead of rebooting your PC will generate a BSOD which will have an error code. Search this code on the web for the next step...
Good Luck!

BTDT. component of the problem is that adult males and females have distinct perspectives on what's "dishonest". yet what he's doing is risky on your relationship. it should be taken care of out even if it is going to take some compromise on both your factors. You 2 pick to come across a time to sit down jointly and discuss this. A time once you're both rested and in no way disillusioned. Make an appointment. you need to sit down and pay interest to at least one yet another. He has some valid lawsuits as do you. a youthful infant and conflicting paintings schedules continuously make it not common to celebration for intimacy. yet his loose time schedule (staying on all evening) is contributing to the shortcoming of time you 2 have jointly. you need to indicate that he locate yet otherwise to wind down after paintings.
