Re: Windows Crash

MS's web site has a good summary at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/60
93.mspx?mfr=true . Their bottom line: " Faulty hardware, a buggy system
service, antivirus software, and a corrupted NTFS volume can all generate this
type of error."

If you haven't installed anything else recently or changed any other drivers
(and you've tried the same w/your AV turned off), I'd strongly suspect a
hardware error. Run a CHKDSK to check the system drive volume and a RAM test to
rule out bad RAM (bad RAM would be the first thing I'd check).

Hi

I'm copying PostgreSQL discussion group in case the following problem
involves their efforts.

I am running Postgresql 8.3 with Postgis latest version and PGAdmin 1.8.2 on
Windows XP.

I imported a shapefile using conversion and upload and it installed with no
problem.

When I viewed the table through PGAdmin and scrolled, Windows crashed with a
message that the graphics driver had an error.

I downloaded and installed the latest graphics driver and tried to view the
table again.

This time I used the Select * option and the table opened normally, but when
I attempted to scroll, Windows again crashed.

This time I got the blue screen with the error message
"Page_Fault_In_NonPaged_Area.

I restarted and again used Select * all and was able to read the table. Very
slow scrolling allowed me to read a few rows, some of which had distorted
views of the information in the geometriy column.

Would anyone have any thoughts - other than to buy new hardware??

Bob
