Dammit, just found it...

Maybe this can help anyone:

It's hidden in C:\Windows\Command and it receives the appropriate name of CVT.

Sorry for this unuseful post, admins delete this post if you wish.

It's ok:

We all know that Windows ME blows goats, now we just have proof.

I have a 98 system tweaked/hacked, and I can keep it running and use it quite relentlessly for a week with no reboots. Windows ME, I've seen it screw more gamers than you'd believe.

DOS games? Good luck.

Finetune 1.5 is quite usful, you can tweak RAM allocation, CD bufferage, hard drive performance, base directories for certain predefined files, internet connection optimization, cache size along with many other hidden registry commands that you would not normally be able to access.

RE: It's ok:

Yes that program seems cool... but how do you make windows run for a week without crashing? Goddamit, mine has given me a blue screen when I was sitting reading stuff on the screen and eating, didn't even touch the keyboard.

I'm willing to help you, but I would need some basic info, as in what kind of motherboard, processor, video, sound, how much and what kind of RAM, disk(s), network adapters etc. etc. you have; are you overclocking anything; which operating system exactly are you running (95A, 95B, 95B 2.1, 95C, 98, 98SE), which drivers are you using, your DirectX version and some other details :-)))

A BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) out of the blue (excuse the pun) usually comes from overheating or bad memory. Check for overheating by running system without cover for a few days. If it stops going tits up, you have it. Get a big fan. You can check the memory by removing one (if you have multiple) RAM sticks and running it like that for a couple of days, then replacing. If you only have one memory DIMM, see if you can beg/borrow/steal one and try the same above.

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-00 AT 06:34AM (GMT)[p]My computer doesn't always crash into the blue screen. It just does other weird things or freezes when some program crashes (Napster and Scour Exhange are quite unstabile).
I have overclocked the video card, but nothing else. I'm running Win98. The other parts are just as when I bought the computer. It's a Dell.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I have DirectX 7.

RE: It's ok:

It certainly sounds like a hardware problem.

Try clocking the video card back, see if it helps.

Try running for a few days without the cover to see if the system is overheating.

Immediately after a crash, reset the computer and go into BIOS setup to see if the processor or motherboard temperature is too high. Make sure components are not "packed together" and give them as much "breathing space" as possible. This is especially true for high-speed SCSI drives, those things get HOT. And if you pack 2 of them one on top of the other, you're asking for trouble...

Try removing non-essential hardware (as if there is such a beast!) like network cards, additional disks, internal removable storage devices (internal ZIP drives or LS-120 floppy drives) and see if that solves the problem.

Check to see if your power supply can handle all the stuff that's plugged in (as a rule of thumb, though, if the monitor takes it's power from a wall outlet and not from the computer, the power supply shouldn't have problems handling quite a lot of expansions).

Re-seat cards, memory and processor. They might be badly seated in their slots and the thermal expansion may make them lose contact every now and then, thus causing lockups.

Check thoroughly that all data and power cables are fully inserted into their slots.

While doing all this, make sure you are *grounded*. I can't stress this enough. I recently had a US$400 Seagate Cheetah 9 GB Ultra-LVD SCSI disk zapped by a moron that didn't have the common sense to ground himself first.
 
RE: It's ok:

*grin*

I once heard this story about a guy who had 3 SCSI HD's lying (yes, lying, they were seperated by pieces of cardboard) on top of eachother in some sort of server. When he shut the server down, it took 15 minutes for the HD's to cool enough to be handled. He said it all worked perfectly.
