Default Re: Does SEIV run on XP????

The BSOD appear in XP and W2K but the default configuration of windows is to reboot the system when one of this errors happens, this can be changed from the control panel->System-> Advanced ->StartUp and recovery (i don't know if this is the name because i use w2k in spanish, i think it's something like Startup and recovery, anyway there's only 3 options ), and as far as i know in XP is the same.

Hmm... maybe they added the auto-reboot in service pack 4 of 2000. I have never observed it to auto-reboot after a BSOD.

And I've never observed a BSOD (or reboot from error) on XP OR 2000 at all.

That is fine. It does not mean that they do not happen. How long do you typically leave such systems running before shutting down/rebooting?

This system (XP Pro) has been on for the Last 2 weeks and it's still as stable as when it is first rebooted.

2 weeks is not much.

I never saw XP Pro Last longer than 2000 before becoming unstable and needing to be rebooted.

The hardware you are running is also a big factor in how often Windows crashes. This is why some people almost never saw crashes when running Windows 98, whereas others saw crashes every day...

I have never seen a BSOD on XP but it does occasionally freeze up and I have to reboot.
