Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
I remember a time when vehement "my OS is better than yours" squabbles were actually about two different OSes from different manufacturers (Windows Vs Mac (back when Mac wasn't oiwned by MS), windows vs unix, Amiga vs PC, Amiga vs atari, C64 vs Speccy etc).
What has the world come to when all we have left to argue about is which Version of bloody Microsoft's bloated Orwellian crappy excuse for an operating system is marginally preferable to which other?
Maybe I should borrow the Time-travelling gearbox so I can go live perpetually in some other decade.

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
Whoa!!!! This thread took off since Last time I checked on it. YOu guys have done away with most of my fears of switching to XP. Most of the fears originated from teh upgradingmof the video computer at my church. We started with XP home, then the next level (whatever it was), to finally end up with a new computer and XP pro.
I am a little iffy about converting because I run 2000 pro and like it. However, there are several games that don't work with it, like the Sims (hopefully you guys do realize there are games other than SEIV)

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
Do you have all of the updates for 2000 installed?

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
The BSOD appear in XP and W2K but the default configuration of windows is to reboot the system when one of this errors happens, this can be changed from the control panel->System-> Advanced ->StartUp and recovery (i don't know if this is the name because i use w2k in spanish, i think it's something like Startup and recovery, anyway there's only 3 options  ), and as far as i know in XP is the same.

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
Hmm... maybe they added the auto-reboot in service pack 4 of 2000. I have never observed it to auto-reboot after a BSOD.

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
And I've never observed a BSOD (or reboot from error) on XP OR 2000 at all.

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
That is fine. It does not mean that they do not happen. How long do you typically leave such systems running before shutting down/rebooting?

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
This system (XP Pro) has been on for the Last 2 weeks and it's still as stable as when it is first rebooted.

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
2 weeks is not much.
I never saw XP Pro Last longer than 2000 before becoming unstable and needing to be rebooted.
The hardware you are running is also a big factor in how often Windows crashes. This is why some people almost never saw crashes when running Windows 98, whereas others saw crashes every day...

Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
I have never seen a BSOD on XP but it does occasionally freeze up and I have to reboot.
