I've seen this before... about 10 out of the 350 machines we have at work did this. Of those 10 we were able to recover 7 of them by removing the USB devices connected to them ( most of these were ergonomic Logitech mice, the others were iPaq docking stations ). After switching back to a PS/2 mouse the machines never could use a USB mouse again, unless we upgraded to WinXP or did a complete reinstall and ran the SP4 from CD. Also... the three that didn't get recovered by removing usb devices had to be formatted and reinstalled.
My code isn't buggy. Those are all fleatures.

Thabks for the information Adam. This seems to be my fate as well as there are no USB devices plugged in and nothing is making it work.

I managed to find someone else with the same problem: see Google Groups link[^].
If the system is configured for it, Windows should be generating memory dumps when the problem occurs - typically in C:\WINNT\MiniDump. You could try using WinDbg (part of the Debugging Tools for Windows[^]) to read the dump file.
Start WinDbg, then go to File > Open Crash Dump. Wait for the symbols to download from Microsoft's debugging symbol server (broadband connection very handy!). Use the !analyze -v command. You should ideally do this on a system with the same version of OS and hotfixes that you're trying to read the dump for, or you can point the Image File Path to a location where the correct binaries are stored.
!analyze -v will give a whole bunch of information about the crash - with a bit of luck, it will indicate which driver caused the fault. Note that the address listed is not necessarily the executing line at the point of the fault - it's the address that caused the access violation (code 0xC0000005).

Uninstall the Logitech driver does NOT help.
You must rename/copy some dlls as shown in my previous link.

I was just wondering if anybody knows if there is a file (text file?) on a windows machine that contains the current process list and if so what is the file?

Yup. I know of that but I was just wondering if there is a file with a list. A friend wanted to get a list of the processes using Java and there is not way of doing it in Java (well... you could use JNI to do it but thats too much overhead) and he asked me if ther was a file on windows that had a list of currently running processes.

Does anyone know of what the admin password is for HP's XP home?
Why would anyone put a system together that requires you to enter the admin password to run the recovery but does not give you access to the admin account, Even when you set it up clean! 
Is this just HP's implementation? Did not have time to create a test machine on the side.

NO, but try this[^], I have used it successfully to reset the Administrator password on a Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional machine with no problems. Set the password to blank, don't try I change the password to another word using this utility as it doesn't seem to work.
You also might want to try this[^] great tool to write the inage to floppy disk.

It is stupid, I can't believe that they would lock out the owner of the machine.
Funniest thing is I am currently having to fix a client machine where I haven't been given the Administrator password, it is late and I have to get in. So I had to come back to my original post to you and follow the links I gave you.

XP Home just leaves the Admin password blank. This would seem just like an OEM to lock the users out of recovering their own systems. I suppose it makes a pretty good tech support revenue a couple years down the road.

Thanks,
It was not blank in this case but Michael's suggestion did clear that up.

It has been stated as a fact from AMD, that chips with a speed greater than or equal to 300Mhz conflict with Win95 OSR2. Explicitly, the boot process yields the message,
"While Initializing Device IOS: Windows Protection Error. You Need to Restart Windows".
This is the message I recieved after a clean install of 95 with a K6-2 500Mhz processor. I did get 95 to boot by clocking the chip down to 166Mhz. I then tried to install the chip update from AMD's web but recieved a message about a Restriction error. The details of the error are as follows:
<unknown> caused an exception c0000006H in module <unknown> at 0000:bff832f3.
Registers:
EAX=20040000 CS=0137 EIP=bff832f3 EFLGS=00010206

Bytes at CS:EIP:

The only conclusion this message gives me is that the K6 and K6-2 register and stack architecture don't coincide. How can I get the processor to run at 500Mhz?

Did you install the AMD patch for 95? What is happening is a timing error in 95 that supported the intel chips. I have run 95 on 300, 450, 550, and 800 AMD K6 and K6-2 chips fine.

Anyone have a clue as to what might be happening here.
We had our intranet site on IIS 5.0 and everything was working smooth. Users could browse to http://intranet. We got a new server with IIS 6 and moved the site there, including setting up the host headers. After updating the DNS to the new server it doesn't work any longer. Navigating to http://intranet produces a "Cannot find server or DNS Error". Navigating to http://intranet/app1 works fine. A ping to intranet get the correct IP returned.

Since CP is so slow (postings, not transport speed) today I popped over to TechRepublic to answer a few questions. While browsing posts there I found an answer posted by one of the sharper tools that haunt the site. Trying to help a user optimize a dying Win98 PC, he mentioned that there is a problem with memory management in the whole series (which I knew), and that each time the PC is started, the Registry grows a bit, eventually becoming too large for the computer to continue running. I hadn't heard that. Can anyone here confirm that from experience? It might explain why Win9x PCs become so slow after a caouple of years, and improve so much when rebuilt.

Wow! Why isn't that documented somewhere, along with thousands of other great tips that various individuals know? Thanks, Mike!
