February 18, 2003 Windows XP is a serious resource hog.

Blue Screen Of Death Nightmare
If you are like me, you don't download executables and install them onto your computer unless 1) you need it, and 2) you know it was written by a reputable software manufacturer. But, if your computer is feeling blue or otherwise choked up without apparent reason, try a few things first:

  1. Start up in safe mode, run sysedit, and make sure there is no "garbage" in any of your system files.
  2. Remove all but the bare essentials from your computer. In other words, keep your mouse, keyboard, and monitor hooked up only.
  3. Do the solve all fix all trio: FDISK / FORMAT / REINSTALLATION OF WINDOWS, my personal favorite because it clears all of the installed junk you downloaded over the months.
