Hello, I have two different workbooks which list two seperate sets of data pertaining to the items, parcels of land, and I'd like to combine the two workbooks into one, with all the data from both. Each parcel has an identifier in the workbooks that's consistent across the two, so there is a...

What does this system event error message mean when it's the event shown as the cause of a BSOD? My hardware setup is Athlon 1400, AMD761 chipset 512md PC2100 Ram, Geforce3 and a Soundblaster Live. AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0xcfc), which lies in the...

Hello, I'm running an Athlon 1400 on an AMD760 chipset with 512MB of 266DDR ram, I used to get a wide variety of memory related bluescreens under win2k, then I upgraded to winXP and the BSOD stopped for about a week, now I get them in XP also. Is there a way to test my ram modules in software...

Hello, I'm currently running an Athlon 1400 on an AMB760 chipset with DDR ram, and I'm considering migrating my system to a P4 with RAMBUS and an attendant motherboard, how difficult would it be to perform this change while keeping my current OS installation and all my other expansion cards...

Thank you all, that worked great. I didn't even know you could do that for programs, good to know. Thanks again.

I recently upgraded to Windows XPpro and have a Soundblaster live 5.1 installed in my computer. It worked well enough under win2kpro but since upgrading has performed very poorly. Driver installations keep crashing and stalling out but I have gotten them installed, however, since then I have not...

I was having trouble installing my soundcard software (Soundblaster 5.1 live xp drivers from creative) and one of the utilities that comes with it kept crashing. So I was digging around in the event viewer looking for errors and I found a continual reference to "illegal port io addresses...

I removed one of my memory modules and not only did the installer work fine, but the system is also a lot more stable now, I was having an extreme number of blue screens and since I installed, I've had none, I suspect a bad memory chip was to blame, fortunately memory is cheap enough for me to...

I was running an Athlon 1400 on an MSI k7 Master with 2 sticks of generic 256mb pc2100 ddr ram. Big suprise one stick dies, which of course I only figured out when I was installing xp and it kept crashing, and now I'm going to replace it, I intend to buy Crucial as all indications are it's teh...

I found in the MS KB that the cause was a bad memory module and that I should keep removing memory until I get it to work. I'm doing that now but else could I try? My system is a: Athlon 1400 MSI K7 Master motherboard 2 sticks of 256mb 266mhz ddr ram cdrw drive dvd drive geforce 3 default BIOS...

On now 7 successive installation attempts with Windows XP pro each attempt has crashed, each at a different time, some with a blue screen stop error and other times with a dialog box reporting what appears to be the same error. The code for the stop error 0x0000008e. What is causing this and how...

Thanks for all your help, I re-upgraded to SP2, reinstalled all my drivers, audio and video, and I have new errors to report and a new theory. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA ntoskrnl.exe IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ntoskrnl NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED win32k.exe...

Here's a new one, just got this: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (os running at idle) in tcpip.sys Any ideas?

Thank you for your help, you mention that the problem might be memory related, is there a way to test the memory setup and compatability as well as test for bad sectors or chips? is it possible that improperly configured timing settings, I don't overclock but I've never felt confident of my...

Hello, For the last month or so I've been having frequent BSOD on a home built box and I haven't been able to amke any progress with eliminating them. I'm going to list my hardware and then the three most recent BSOD, they're pretty representative of the type I've been having. Setup: Althon...
