I didn't crash when I went there but there is something going on with that
site. For one thing, when I got there, it took time for it to load and my
firewall alerted me to an apparent plug-in and resulting modification
required for the page.
It could be related to your card, you might try the previous drivers or
there is something on the page, perhaps the attempted plug-in that is
causing your system to choke. Are you suing Windows Media Player as your
default player or are you using some other player. If some other player, it
may be a compatibility issue with that player. Also, check to be sure the
drivers for your soundcard are up to date or, if you just updated them, try
rolling back the drivers.
Have you been able to reach this site with no problem before or is this the
first time you went to this site? If you reached it in the past, the
problem is clearly related to some change you made in your setup. If this
is the first time you've been there, then any of the above is a possibility.
Also check the following:
First, be sure your antivirus software has the latest definitions and run a
virus scan.
Second, download, install and run Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com
Note: you should always be well backed up before running an application of
this type.
If your system is clear of viruses, open Control Panel, open System, go to
the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery, remove the
check from "Automatically Restart" under System Failure. This will cause
the system to blue screen instead of restarting on errors and the
information on the blue screen may give a clue as to the source of the
issue.
Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event Viewer, look for
errors corresponding to the crash, double click the error, the information
contained within may give a clue as to the
source of the problem.
Assuming you have an XP CD and not a recovery CD, place the XP CD in the
drive, when the setup screen appears, select "Check System Compatibility,"
the report it generates may point to problem hardware or software on your
system. If you do not have an XP CD, you can download this application
known as the Upgrade Advisor from the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/upgrading/advisor.asp
Note: If you have access to a broadband connection it might be best to
download using that as this is a rather large download.
Check for the latest drivers for your other hardware.
Do not use Windows Update for this, go to the device manufacturer's web
sites and if
you install updated drivers, ignore the message about drivers being unsigned
by Microsoft.
