Title: Fix for windows dll file errors/crashes?
Post by: Sabrewulf on August 23, 2003, 08:17:04 pm

I had crashes constantly with DLL file errors for windows.I was always getting \"system rescources\" errors and the blue screen of death.So just for hahas i made a sub account in the windows logon that only has the game,my intenet connection,virus scanner,firewall,and MIRC in the startup group.Because of this only 25% of my system startup rescources and system cache are being used at startup. And so far every time I logon to PS with that subaccount it loads up faster and i havent had a DLL error in 3 days,also the lag has been minimal. I dont know if it has any real bearing but for those constantly getting errors with window ,you might wanna try what i did and see if it works.It seems most of my problem had to do with the processor usage and not RAM so much.The only problem i see with this \"fix\" is that any popup stoppers,download accelerators and any other \"unneccessary\" login/startup program needs to removed from the startup.

I have a compaq presario
AMD athalon 1.1 ghz
320 RAM
TNT pro 2 graphics 16 mb
Soundblaster sound card
Windows ME (yes I know..ugh)

Yes, for the love of God.  You will notice that every part of your PC runs faster when the unnecessary programs have been removed.  Everyone should remove those programs all the time.
