Default Re: Does SEIV run on XP????

And I've never observed a BSOD (or reboot from error) on XP OR 2000 at all.

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?

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

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...

I have never seen a BSOD on XP but it does occasionally freeze up and I have to reboot.

Well sure we do. I mean there was SEIII, and before that there was SEII.

And I have something called tetris on my mobile phone, but I can't work out how to colonise all these funny shaped planets that keep appearing.

Oh, no, the funny shapes aren't planets, their building blocks for a colony. See, the people your building for like holes everywhere, so you always gotta leave holes or a row gets deleted. When you get to the top, you win.
