OK so here is the short story...Bought a new Dell..thought I was getting XP with an upgrade to vista....well I Got Vista. i went with a Dual core AMD with 2 gigs of RAM...THIS THING CRASHES AT LEAST once a day. Blue Screen of death with a MSG "Paged MSG IN A NON PAGED AREA". The system then trys to reboot aand gets locked up in the reboot. Only wat to get it running is a power cycle the whole thing. Any sugestions on how to fix this before I wipe the drive an install XP on this machine.
I Swear I did not touch anything

Wiping it is the fix. Sorry for that help *shrug*
Anyone buying a new anything MAKE SURE you call them to order. On-line will always get you Vista with office 07. Which sux as well right now.
We are recommending that No-ONE upgrades to either for the time being.

good thing is ,as I understand it Microsoft licensees are backward compatible now so if you buy vista you can use the licensee for xp then in a few years when vista is stable you can reinstall under the same licensee.

Most of my Pc's are running 2K. I'm just getting started with XP-Pro on 1 machine. For Vista I'll wait for SP2.

the thing with vista is we will need to learn the basic interface if we need to use customers PCS
I had a networking issue the other day and the two problematic workstations where MAC'S
I didn't even know what the browser was or how to check IP. :rolleyes:

I would not mind it if it worked...but I crashes daily. It is a decent machine..2 gigs of ram and a 2ghz dual core AMD processor.
SO I finally decide to wipe it and put XP back n..I go to sea gates website to download the disk wizard to perform low level format...and the utility is in a "transition: period and cannot be downloaded.
Anyone now of any other utilities I can use or have a copy of disk wizard. I did not want to just run an FDISK
