  1. is Post crash directory windows.old needed after restoring windows?


    I'm running Windows on a big 1.7 TB partition using Boot Camp on a newish Intel-based MacBook pro. A couple weeks ago it had a catastrophic crash running essentially nothing, so weird, and reinstalled itself. After much restoration =, it's back to normal, but there is a 120 GB file called windows.old Do I need that, or can I delete it?

    :)

  2. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    is Post crash directory windows.old needed after restoring windows?

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
