Hi Rich,
Well, I just posted a long answer then for some reason there was a post
error and it all went away....this is not going to be a very good day!
so, let me try it again:
here is the error message:
IRQL_not_less_or_equal
and then a stop error sequence.
I viewed another post which directed me to yet another link and found that
this error i received generally indicates an incompatibility between wondows
XP professional and the lexar media usb unversal reader. only problem is, i
don't have that reader, or at least i can't find it if i do! as a matter of
fact i can't find anything that looks like it might be a reader. so i'm not
sure what to do now.
here is the summary of symptoms:
1. if left alone, the computer crashes
2. it has also crashed after aobut one hour, even when in use
3. i've tried to run chkdsk several times and it always crashes as the same
point: 66% into level one. i tried system suite and it did the same thing.
i would sincerely appreciate any help...
thanks in advance,
debbie
