Pascal,

Greetings,

Thanks again for your response.

I'm using Windows 2000 prof.

I have 1 gb DDR ram installed.

The hard drive is a 40 gb IDE 7200 rpm.

I have a Matrox millenium G 450 dual head video
card as my agp.

Also have 3 pci video cards installed. They're all radeons.

Just received another message earlier with a blue screen :
A device driver has corrupted the executive memory pool.
Also mentioned the same numbers as previous and the
ntos.krnl file.

Many thanks Pascal for your help.

Have a good day.

Sincerely,

Steve
