Everything was fine this weekend until I installed the latest Norton antivirus files and these were corrupted.
Tried again and they were corrupted again. So I bunged the files on from another machine and scanned for virus's and the machine blue screened and rebooted.
Chkdsk the hard disk and a there was a corrupt file. The virus checker ran fine after that.
Now this machine is the one that collects weather data so it's important for me. Next day I boot in windoze starts I copy the weather files across to another drive (Rather than ghosting the whole lot) Blue screen irq-not_less than or equal. Mmm driver problem but nothings been updated for yonks.
Reboot copy the files across across okay. Check event viewer nothing in there. Machine runs okay until I tell it shut down and it blue screens again.
Next day I pull out the extra memory i put in three weeks ago instant blue screen. Reboot go for a clean install format the drive during setup and the setup cannot copy all the windoze files. Clean cd no go. Try the cd in another machine and it can't read the cd. Try it the cd writer and that copy the files. Create an image of the cd and create a new one. This can't be read either.
Put another scsi cd drive in and this reads it.
Re-install windoze 2k and since it's late I leave it.
Next evening everything goes fine until I install the wintv card I run this and wintv programs acts wierd. I try weather program for some reason Irq_not_less_than again. Reboot and I uninstall the wintv card with hwclear programme. Reboot and the windoze is buggered completly. The registry is knackered.
Re-install again and the CD won't copy at all.
Basterd.
Back to the old ghost image from the 21st of sept. Boot into safe mode and remove the win2k machine. Uninstall the wintv programmes and text. Reboot and try the weather programme. Another error message. Reinstall the weather programme and this runs happily. Try live update and the anti virus files now install. Copy files form one drive to another. No problem anymore.
Now have I cracked it and it was the wintv card going to great wintv heaven or is it just playing with me waiting to spoil my Birthday and few days holiday thats coming.
