REPORTING OF ERROR

Microsoft Windows's error reporting can be disabled by going to My Computer --> (right click) Properties --> Advanced --> Error reporting and clicking on Disable error reporting. The error reporting can be quite annoying at times as most of the errors are very minor and do not require any report to be sent.

However, it is advisable to check the "Notify me when critical errors occur" box.

MEDIA PLAYER TROUBLES

Q: I have a new assembled PC with the configuration: Inter ( R) P4-3.0 GHz, D 915 GAV mother board, 80 GB Hard Disk, 512 MB DDR RAM running on Windows XP professional.

The prob I’m facing is that whenever I open a video file through Media Player from the CD or from the hard disk (video file copied from the CD to the disk), the media player gets slow on the picture. The audio quality too is not upto the mark...

Why is this happening despite my using 512 RAM? Please give me a solution.

A: There seems to be some problem with your multimedia device. Check whether you have installed the correct driver for your video/audio device.

You can see these details by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Manage, then clicking on Device Manager.

You will see a list of installed devices. Devices with problems will be marked either in red or yellow. You need to look at Video Adapter and Sound Devices, you should have the drivers along with your Motherboard CD.

Also, see that you install the Motherboard INF updates from the Motherboard CD. Memory is not of any concern here.
