Greetings. Blue Screen just came up again.
(0x0000007F...) I was looking at various websites on
nature photos all evening and it stopped in the middle of
clicking onto another. A couple things I neglected to
respond last time: I have 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHz,
don't know if that means more than 1 stick ram. I do
windows update whenever the box comes up, but I will go
into their site and update again, in case I missed
something. I did install a Canon i960 printer and
scanner, which came with the computer, so I guess there
was a driver installed.

This time I took a photo of the blue screen, I just wish
I knew where in Philadelphia to take it. Going to bed
now, will check in again. I can be reached at
Jacana5@yahoo.com. Thanks, Kate.
