Give us some specs on your PC. Maker/manufacturer, amount of RAM, OS, hard drive size, and so on.

LW cannot crash your PC Cu20me Try updating your java if possible: dl the 1.4.2 jre available here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

With all the problems you got with LW and your PC (by looking at all your posts) I wonder why you are still trying LW or simply why you don't do a clean install of Windows XP. Your computer software and/or hardware seems *really* crappy.

Bonne chance

Hey, et voilà. How come you're so sure that LW cannot crash a PC? Is it something in it's programming or something? (You can tell that I'm still a newbie when it comes to computers...)

Salut murasame, on a multi thread os like os x or windows xp, a program can stall or crash, but this shouldn't crash the PC or mac. Especially since LW does not install weird drivers for hardware and is runned by a java run time (java crashes before xp or os x).

Now reasons for drivers crashes are numerous (especially when they come not supported by microsoft or apple). Hardware too: bad ram, pc becoming too hot, hardware conflict, etc.

Yeah, I kinda knew that about OSX, what with the "Application has unexpectedly quit. The system and blah blah are not affected" message, but you can't always trust these right? I mean there's almost always an exception to the rule.

Right. But if you look at the record of Cu20me posts, you'll see something is definitly wrong with his computer.
