I suspect Nvida to be the problem since I clicked on a MSN video and the stop error occurred. Prior to writing this post I had difficulty signing into the forum using IE8. There was no response in IE. I am using Google Chrome at the moment.

I shall be grateful for any assistance with a view to solution to the problem.

Thanking you,

standeb

https://www.google.com/search?q=0X0000008E gives us a few clues plus the fact it failed on video tells me you should google this and turn this off!

-> Disable Flash Hardware Acceleration <-

It's a common issue and not a sign of bad hardware. It could be heat related but the machine details (age, etc) are elusive here.

Windows XP SP3 Stop screen error problem. by standeb

Hello Bob,

Compliments of the day to you. Thank you for your replies. I took your advise. The problem was that I had installed Firefox and the flash player for same and this happened every time I used Firefox. I disabled flash hardware acceleration. It stopped for a while and restarted. I then uninstalled Firefox. The problem disappeared. up until now and the system is performing well.

Thank you so much. Your diagnosis of the problems people experience seems almost comparable to the bible. Your views are well respected by me.

Regards

Standeb...

Glad it helped you figure it out. The flash issue is a common one but again, not a sign of bad gear. Glad you're back in biz.

Since you use Avast...

Provided you have the latest version of Avast, then it has the "updater feature". If that's running, allow it to check the PC status for any updates. If found, it will install those if "enabled" or display some action to take. The whole idea is your PC is up-to-dated as needed. That also should show *any* flash updates which seem to be common. I agree with much of the XP experiences many users have that over time, it slows down for whatever reason. At least if its a update issue it may not be so doomed by it all. It's also something that on the surface shows what's being asked as more often that not, it's a hidden task being done while you use the PC. Just my 2-cents...

Hello Willy,

I use Avast and have had to uninstall it because of a problem it appeared to have caused with respect to Serif programs I use. I am using AVG for the moment but will go back to avast after the error is corrected. My computer is kept up to date but there was this update from avast that caused those program installers to become corrupt. I had to make sure to completely uninstall and re-install all serif programs.

However I am thankful for your two cents as you call it. Every bit of information is important to my learning and Willy I am learning.

Thanks again.

Standeb.

In regards to Avast, there is a AVAST remover pgm. from Avast that does a complete de-install. You may want to post on the Avast forum to see what they have to offer to your Serif pgms. problem. The last Avast free is ver. 8, just to let you know and that's very recent.
