I am running a new dell (high spec) PC to run a weather station and
webcam to my web site. The PC has a dell windows XP pro standard
build and is running 24/7. Two items of software analyse the
weather data and ftp images to the site and have a web server
serving images to the site.
I have installed a plug and play PCI card to connect a surveillance
camera too but haven't yet connected the camera. Following
installation of the card video and audio drivers install as
expected. Device manager shows these to be working correctly. A
number of these share an IRQ.
The weather station uses RS232 serial communication which is fed
through a Serial to USB cable to connect to a USB port.
The PC runs for a period typically over 12 hours and then returns a
"explorer.exe has experienced a problem and needs to close" error.
This dialogue hangs waiting for a response. When the dialogue
closes the weather station software has closed. The camera
software is still running.
I would be grateful to know what causes this error and for any
specific guidance on what could be causing the problem on my setup.
Many thanks

either by downloading the Process explorer from Ms site or by Task
manager.
