TOCA Driver 2 Demo Rebooting problem

Just wondering if anyone else is having this trouble or knows how to fix it. This only happens while hosting, I get a brief Blue Screen and the computer reboots itself. Any help would be appreciated Darf

Specifications, like Operating System? Video Card? One thing for sure, if you're running a virus program in the background, you're asking for trouble. Alanb

Check out the Readme - I remember seeing something in there about onboard soundcards causing 'occasional' bluescreens. HTH Rick.

To have the thing continuously running in the background is pure folly. That program has screwed more things up on my computer than it has fixed. I think that if you're careful and don't do stupid things, there's no need to have a virus program always running. Now if you're wanting to protect sensitive, job-related things, then that's a different story. If that were the case, I'd have two computers, one for work and one for gaming. And I'd keep NAV off my gaming machine. Let's face it, I think most would agree that NAV (or any other AV program) is not a good thing to be running when gaming. So it goes. Alanb

I was just making a reference to the thread where I got jumped for dissing another program. >At least that's my experience. >To have the thing continuously running in the background is pure folly. >That program has screwed more things up on my computer than it has fixed. > In this case, I agree with you. I've gotten to the point where I avoid *all* things Norton. I think it started with the "First Aid" program. I absolutely loved the original Norton Utilities, and used them all the time. First Aid started a slide where it seemed that every program they made screwed up SOMETHING on every machine it was installed on. I've had to fix machines for many friends after Norton did its 'magic' on them. And as I've stated before, we've had students with up-to-date NAV defs *still* get hit with viruses that were a year old. I have absolutely no confidence in NAV's ablilty to protect any computer against viruses. >I think that if you're careful and don't do stupid things, there's no need >to have a virus program always running. Probably true. But if you don't have a firewall of some kind, there are viruses that *can* still get you. Opening an infected attachment is no longer the only way to get hit. :-(

Wow, I didn't know it was this bad on the Windows side of NAV too. On the Mac side, the story is almost exactly the same (used to be a good program, which gradually went totally down the drain). Maybe they got some programmers to to both versions - that'd explain a lot... > Probably true. But if you don't have a firewall of some kind, there are > viruses that *can* still get you. Show me one - I'm on my OS X machine, and the first one has yet to be reported ;) Regards, Rudy -------------------- GPLRank: -22
