G-200 crashes
I haven't researched the problem, yet, because I'm hoping that some genius on this forum has already found the cause, and I do have a laborious workaround.
The last half-dozen times or so I've booted up the computer I use for video work, I've had a problem. If, after normal booting, I open any capture proggy, such as PC-VCR, the whole computer freeze-crashes (no response from any input device), requiring a physical re-boot. Workaround: reinstall Windows 98SE over the old, which is a pain. It then works. I've tried reinstalling graphics and video drivers and scan-checked hard disks, defragged and all the usual things. None of the diagnostic software detects anything wrong. It didn't used to do this and I can't think of anything I did that could have provoked it. Everything else seems to work (not that there is much else on this computer).
System: PIII/500 82443BX/ZX, 384 Mb 100 MHz, MM G-200 AGP, SB Live! Boot drive 4.0 Gbytes IDE0 master, Video drive 9.5 Gb IDE1 master, CD-ROM IDE0 slave (all DMA), CD burner SCSI, Realtek RTL8029 Ethernet PCI network adapter.
All clues gratefully received.
