Default PC Restarting (due to LW)

People

There are two reasons I know off that will cause LW to restart a windows (XP) PC (and one of them is not LWs fault).

1) There seems to be an incompatibility between Nvidia video drivers, which are used by lots of PC motherboards, and LW, some versions of LW will work with some versions of the Nvidia drivers but, unfortunately, you will never really know which version of LW will work with which version of Nvidia until you start to use them together.

Therefore, the next time your PC crashes you let it send a report, via the internet, and follow the link to the answer on the Microsoft site. The MS site may recommend that you either upgrade or change your drivers.


2) It is possible that your PCs are infected with a virus or two, if you read through this forum you will find people who have either PCs that randomly restart or LW will not close down. The answer for that is investing in a good AV app.
