3dfx Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 I think the same, it must be corrupted files. Better reinstall ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo1980 Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 Did this happen to you right after you installed the new internet explorer? cuz it happened to me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted February 10, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2002 neo1980, actually, its been happening after i installed one of the security updates for IE6.0. i'm not 100%, but that's the only "system" like updates i've done. everything else in the past week has just been regular software, so if i had to guess, that'd be it. but the thing i don't get is that it happens for other programs too.....weird. it's happened with musicmatch jukebox, and a few others. and there's nothing specific i can do to get it to happen. if i open and close it, it usually doesn't happen. usually, it's if it's been open for a while, and then i close it. cheers, joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 It can also be faulty memory erasing data where it should stay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted February 10, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2002 dessimat0r: so you mean bad ram, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dessimat0r Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 btw, write down the memory addresses off all the boxes if they are similar, then you have a memory fault in that region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
