CA3LE Posted November 11, 2004 CID Share Posted November 11, 2004 ... uninstall FoxFire and reinstall it first of all -- try IE and see if it's still functioning correctly, let me know what you find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArtworkGuy Posted November 12, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 12, 2004 O.K. i didn't uninstall firefox, first i checked to see if i could use IE. i had to search the comp for it and when i ran it, it worked, but it ran very, very slowly. so slowly i shut it down before it loaded up the homepage... before i did that i went to ADD/REMOVE programs and got rid of everything i didn't recognize. then i ran firefox again and came here and it hasn't rebooted. i toggled the auto reboot mode and it said something about checking my disk space ( i have many gigs left ) and checking to see if any drivers are malfunctioning..i dont know how to do that. on the bottom of the screen it told me what went wrong, but it is a language I can't understand- STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x00000167, 0xF02CFCC8, 0x00000000) i have no friggin idea what that means. thank you for the quick reply, and thanks for snipping my email out of there : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted November 12, 2004 CID Share Posted November 12, 2004 STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x00000167, 0xF02CFCC8, 0x00000000) i have no friggin idea what that means. Sounds like a memory fault, check your ram brotha! I just gave your brother like a gig of DDR and it fixed all his problems... kinda the same shit, big time memory dumps and shiz.. could be another problem... but I would look into the memory.

TheArtworkGuy Posted November 12, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 12, 2004 thank you all for your advice. right after i posted that last message and i closed the browser, it crashed again. here's what i did 1. tried to reformat- but i don't have a windows cd ( never came with my comp) so i used a system restore to the earliest point i could (last week) then i downloaded the firewall ZoneAlert, re-installed and ran the web. it crashed again i shut down zone alert, and downloaded Spybot and got rid of FIfty things with it. now it seems to be working O.K. but it could crash right after i close this window again : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
