Interesting.. sounds like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Shadow_Copy_Service or a similar concept. Think you have to enable it per-volume, and not sure it's enabled by default in XP, however it's certainly in services (sp2 atleast).

Seems to me the clue is in the question.. A memory resident program would be executable code that is loaded into a computers RAM. Copied from wikipedia: An assembly language is a low-level language used in the writing of computer programs. The use of human-friendly mnemonics in the writing of assembly language programs replaced the more error prone, and time consuming, effort of directly programming in a target computer's numeric machine code that had been used with the very first computers. An assembly language program is translated into the target computer's machine code by a utility program called an assembler. (An assembler is distinct from a compiler, in that it generally performs one-to-one (isomorphic) translations from mnemonic statements into machine instructions.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

np. hope it keeps working for you

Your decision.. i'm was just trying to help, i work with problems like this every day. If temps are normal then your original problem must already be resolved - reseating the heatsink and applying new paste may well have improved thermal contact. If they're still 90deg you can count on something breaking in the very near future.

Been hovering on these forums for a while and thought i might aswell step in for this one Computer restarts without notifying you of error: XP (not sure about 2000) will, by defualt, reboot the PC after a stop error occurs.. crap for problem determination, right? - It's easy to fix this: Right click My Computer > Properties > "Advanced" Tab > Startup and Recovery > Deselect "Automatically Restart". The next time a stop error occurs, you can write down the error report and google it, or whatever you need to do - it's a start. Next, you can monitor various temp sensor readings from within windows (assuming you MB supports it..) using this program http://www.coolmon.org With regards to you CPU temp issues, it should not run above 60degC in general with any architecture. Optimum temp range is 30-50degC.. obv. colder is better! If it's running at 90degC you're have a major hardware problem, and you best look into what's causing it or, as has already been suggested, you might be looking at buying a new CPU soon. So, you said your CPU has a variable speed fan? I've seen problems with these before. Is it manually or thermometer controlled? Manuall > Increase the fan speed, it's probably too low. Thermally > Where is the sensor positioned? Make sure the sensor is positioned as close to the processor (the source of heat) itself as possible without obstructing the contact between processor and heatsink. My advice would be to remove the heatsink\fan, and clean any existing thermal paste from both surfaces, and clean until they both shine. Apply new paste then replace and check the fan rotation is not impared in any way. Dust\wires hanging accross the blades (!)\etc. Still not working? Get yourself a new aftermarket heatsink & fan. After that you're probably looking at permanently broken CPU or motherboard. Have fun!
